restaurants are a scam. most restaurants secretly have a kitchen in the back that you’re not allowed to see where they prepare all the food
Replies
Some say they have men back there, secretly smashing the food together, before they bring it out into view.

Also the person bring you the food isn’t actually your friend. Quite the contrary, actually.

You're not all wrong. A few years we had a meal at a well known restaurant - lots of franchises - b/c one of the family kiddos got a job there. Found out the 'kitchen' primarily heated up pre-portioned packages flown/trucked in from gawd knows where. Then put things together on a plate to customer.

Oddly, as I've aged (now SS age) I just don't care for restaurants anymore. It's weird, I'll admit, but it just seems stupid anymore. Like why am I going through the hassle of going somewhere to have someone make me a meal at $5X what I can prepare at home. PLUS I love to cook. Feels dumb

Yes, 100% true. If you want your food to magically appear, you should go to a prestidigitaurant.

I broke the code. Did it on a random Tuesday evening. I'll share it with you all, but pinky promise not to tell ANYONE. Restaurant food is instacart'd from Costco! Yep. Those ribs? Costco Toast? Costco Salad? Costco Meatloaf? Costco That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Hiding the kitchen isn’t a scam. Buying dishes off a food truck, putting them on plates , and charging double IS a scam. Kitchens are “hidden” because they’re: - loud/noisy - full of cussing - crowded & busy Besides, who wants to watch the sausage being made?
