That's a good point.
On a more philosophical level, are restaurants an essential good for society, or more of a luxury along the lines of upscale purses, limited-run sneakers, Rolex watches and Teslas?
I'm not going to argue that they shouldn't exist, but just like with fine mechanical watches, I don't imagine society will collapse without them as we switch to centralized food preparation with economies of scale and more home cooking.
- mtrower 7y agoI would consider some amount of restaurants (of one variety or another) to be of some cultural importance. They don't need to be as prevalent as today, perhaps. But it would be a very different place to be without them entirely, and I think it would feel... a bit colder; more barren. Luxury? To some degree, perhaps. Hardly to the same degree as Rolex watches, however.
