Its no doubt that the Culinary Industry is going to morph into something else (seemingly undesirable to me) than it what it was in a Post COVID World, but given that the only ones that will survive this massive disruption will be those that either optimized their curb-side/take out menus to meet the demands, or those that simply have a ton of outside investment I can totally see that happening. Dine-in will be few and far between with limited seating and dining options being the norm, where as everything else will just be delivered. I hope this spurs on more people to learn to cook at home and lose dependency on fast food and in turn support their local farmers and join CSA and community gardens along with it to offset the pains of a broken Global Food supply chain. We're already seeing that now, as many B2C farms are recording ATHs all over the US and selling out this early in the growing season. As a former cook/chef and farmer, restaurants were always horrible business ventures in the best of times that relies on horrible work conditions, long hours, low wages and pervasive and culturally accepted substance abuse that often leads to severe mental health issues. Hopefully, this gives young cooks the opportunity to take some of the Marketshare from the established players doing what they love (low wages are irrelevant then) and working from commissary Kitchens with low overhead business models. I'd rather they try an experimental business, even with failure being a real possibility, than see them waste 2-3 years of their lives and 40K+ in student debt as that model, much like 'University as an imperative to financial success,' is dead.
