Ghost kitchens instead of community gathering places. 100 year old bar space used to stack outgoing uber-eats orders instead of for people to meet and chat. More plastic waste used on packaging. Fewer home-cooked meals. More time spent in front of the TV instead of in your community. A disrespect for expensive and supply-limited food - delivery sushi in particular strikes me as a culinary crime.

It's really not that big of a deal, but I will never not be a bit irked by that bar space being used to stack bags instead of to serve beer and brisket.



Restaurants were never community gathering places. I've been on this planet for more than 40 years and this is rose colored bullshit, sorry dude. You're forgetting that home cooked meals also include mac and cheese and frozen green beans and tater tots. Whatever past you're pining for is a fantasy, or pre world war 2.
