A bunch of delivery-only restaurants have opened up in my city. Most of them are helmed by young chefs who trained or lived abroad and are bringing interesting new cuisines and dishes to local people. It's great for the local culinary scene and the food is often amazing.
But my word, they've somehow come to think that since they are delivery-only, they have to give customers a "dining experience" by overpacking everything. Every order comes in a fancy cardboard box, every order has multiple sets of disposable cutlery. Every little dish is packed in its own plastic box. With some cuisines (like Korean), you end up with over a dozen boxes for a single meal.
The amount of packaging waste delivery creates is a little sickening. I've taken to ordering from restaurants that throw the entire order into a cheap cardboard box and skip the "branding" altogether.
