Copy + paste small business tyrant investment. Like a ghost kitchen. They all just copy each other because it returns a consistent profit.

There is probably some kind if grotesque item in the menu as a “draw”, too. The Tower of Cheese. The Bacon Bun. The [town name] challenge, a dish made of 34 kinds of flesh. Get in here, techbros! Get your grub.

This is absolutely not true.

Sometimes it’s a very mediocre $8 taco.

Bar around the corner of my house is like this. I’ve never been because they’re across the street from a hole in the wall Japanese place that is really, really good, so whenever I’m walking out of my house to eat that’s where I go.

The only good thing is that most of those places have some sort of black bean or veggie burger.

space_comrade ,

I’ve tried a lot of these veggie burgers and tbh at least where I’m from most of the time they kinda suck. I’ve had a few really really good ones but mostly they tasted mid.

It’s the most hit or miss thing I can get as a vegan. It’s either a really great in-house, well seasoned patty. Or just a morning star frozen thing with grease as it’s only seasoning.

Verito ,

And even then, you need to ask if it contains egg.

It can be hit and miss from my experience as well. We have a bar and grill place that has a black bean burger and the fucking patty is 1/2 lb and an inch thick. The burger tastes good but it’s way too much bean and it ends up being a chore to eat. We have a fast food place that has a black bean burger that is pretty thin but you get a lot of veggies on it and it is all pretty balanced. We have a local hipstery joint similar to the meme posted that has amazing food all around but they have a beyond burger and a black bean burger and it’s actually nice to have that option but they also always have like 3 other vegan options.

I agree on most of them being kinda mediocre but at least I can always get something when my friends are in the mood for burgers.

SSJMarx ,

Since the rise of Impossible/Beyond those are the only veggie burgers I can stand. If I want beans then I’ll order beans, ya know?

Vespair ,

Facts. We have a burger place like this that people love for some reason, but I swear they most the mid-quality burgers for $20+. It’s crazy that people keep going there, imo.

Adkml ,

A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.

Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.

Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we’d spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that’s better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.

keepcarrot ,

I eat out or uber eat if I’m too exhausted to do cooking from work. Or if I tried to do a bulk cook and by day 2 of eating it my brain just says no. Apparently I will just starve instead of eating the same thing

Idk how anybody is still eating out

You make enough money that you wouldn’t really notice if you’re paying $15 or $50 for a burger, and you’re tired enough not to care anyway

People like to think they have refined taste, most do not.

And not just when it comes to food. But art and even basic decor and fashion as well.

It has a tendency to come down to “Is it expensive? Then It’s fancy”.

Floey ,

I wouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Following aesthetic trends is just being savvy, it’s not necessarily compensating for something.

Burgercore!

Don't forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It's like bitch please, you're demanding someone pay a day's wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.

Eh-n-Out sounds better.

The most mediocre dining experience (for the money) I’ve ever had was at a restaurant called “Smallwares.” Emphasis on small, it turns out. Case in point, we ordered duck breast, which cost a fair bit. I was picturing at least a fair amount, but it was the smallest smidgen slivered up with a dollop of sauce. It was the same with every dish, high prices for not much food.

Sure there were other places that had worse food. One remote dinner lacked any fresh food, but you can’t really help that when you’re in the middle of nowhere. But never have I felt like I was being fed by Famine from Good Omens.

taiyang ,

There was a place like this near my old work and my boss would often offer to pay. I naturally ordered a couple mediocre burgers and overly seasoned truffle fries with sage for some reason.

Thankfully there was a similar coffee place next door, but that’s a good thing in their case (that coffee was fire)

Broke: We can offer you our truffle fucked nothingburger with garlic ass for $20 dollars with every single fry costing a dollar extra
Bespoke: falafel shawarma $3, yoghurt or hummus, boss?

I think you need to add another new line to this comment.

Sed Porttitor isn’t even that good, I dunno why they need it on their menu a half a dozen times.

At the risk of playing into the stereotype: But what about Ut Gravida?

tigeruppercut ,

Yeah but only the #2 dessert ut gravida is any good. The #2 ut gravida main dish is for suckers.
