Has anyone had any success in rendering food in Iray? I've tried to render the Diner Food items, but they all look very 'flat'. I can't for the life of me figure out why: do I need to add a glossy layer? Is it the subsurface settings?
I just want my bacon and eggs to look like bacon and eggs...

Applying the Iray Uber Shader should kick up the specularity and glossiness for the eggs. The bacon may not need so much.
Have you tried applying a white top coat to them and then setting its roughness to a low level like 0.2? That would at least create a glossy shine on them.
