I've noticed at several Thai restaurants in the Portland area that we are the only or almost only customers in the restaurant. There's a steady stream of Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. drivers picking up orders.
I haven't noticed it as much with other restaurants. Maybe Thai (and other Asian) dishes hold up well because the topping is typically kept separate from the rice?
Idk, think it's probably just cost and food quantity, at least where I am. I can order $30 worth of Thai and have 2 days worth of food while for the same price I get one ghost kitchen burger with fries.
