And all the people that used to eat out learn how to cook and stop eating out. The restaurants go out of business and the workers with higher minimum wage are fired.

You're arguing that people should not bother learning how to prepare food for themselves in order to sustain the restaurant industry.

The goal would be to hit a happy equilibrium by removing enough of the most price-sensitive customers that supply and demand end up at a happy equilibrium.
