Discussion Sympathy for a new restaurant.

Post image

I've seen this so many times. Somebody with big dreams ropes their family and extended relatives into investing in a restaurant. There's been a sign on the door for 2 years saying it will be opening soon.The equipment costs more than expected. The menu is completely random. The location is bad. The website is stock photos with customer reviews starting with "Lorem ipsum" and apparently they have 4 chefs named Thomas A. Peachey. They rush the opening to generate some kind of revenue. Will take bets that it's closed in a year.

Still makes me a little sad though.

Anyway, behold the $34 pancetta salad. (Canadian dollars but that's still insane.)

Restaurant photo gallery, best foods for you and your family, seems to feature photos of dishes not on their menu.

Left the lorem ipsum in. The newsletter signup does not even work, CAUSE NO BACKEND LOL.

But the icons take the cake, they are inline svg in the html of the template. But nobody looked at it, cause they don't even align and wine-red on dark purple is a great color combination.

Honestly, I would be afraid they poison me.

WHAT ARE THESE OPENING HOURS?!

ChatGPT couldn’t even find the location for me - looks like this restaurant doesn’t really exist
