This only applies to US and a bunch of other countries that would bother to enforce the law regarding cooking regulation. Most countries wouldn't really care as they have more important issues to solve than clamp down on innocent people making informed choices about their lives. So the idea isn't really bad.

> Most countries wouldn't really care as they have more important issues to solve than clamp down on innocent people making informed choices about their lives. So the idea isn't really bad. Yup. More important issues like no rule of law, no sanitation, low literacy rates, mob rule, etc. "Clamping down on innocent people making informed choices about their lives" is what you get to once you stabilize a society and solve its most urgent, life-threatening problems. It's what you get to once people are living in relative health and safety, and then you discover that "informed choices" aren't really that informed, because they're made in the environment full of scammers and people who can't give two fucks about other human beings, if it means few dollars more. And once you get to that, you can live in a world where food poisoning in a restaurant is national news.

  > Yup. More important issues like no rule of law, no sanitation, low literacy rates, mob rule, etc. That's just silly. There are plenty of countries out there with friendlier business climates that aren't still in the bush league. Most South American countries and Eastern Europe and many Asian countries should be on your list if you're considering moving abroad to start a business. Personally my pick is Colombia.

  Supper clubs are quite popular here in Europe. We have excellent sanitation and literacy, thank you. https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/discover-the-underground-supper-clubs-of-berlin/ https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/discover-... In addition to the fancy ones in the articles there are a lot that are cheap and emphasize dining together with strangers. I went to a Syrian refugee dinner in a cafe/film theater. The Syrians were all smart college grads with interesting stories. There used to be a lot of squats in Berlin that were given legal status as long as they did a community dinner once a week. Punk bars and cafes would serve vegan chow for €2. It wasn't like a restaurant at all, more like visiting friends. Probably this still happens but I haven't gone in a long time.
