From a functional perspective that may be a meaningful improvement; if you are running a restaurant with a focus on costs & cleanliness, this sounds better.
- crooked-v 4y agoChopsticks are regularly made out of metal. Wood is a design choice, not a necessity.

- Hello71 4y agodespite Chinese-American fast food restaurants typically using cheap disposable bamboo chopsticks, metal chopsticks also exist and are used in many restaurants. higher-end restaurants typically use high-quality (heavy) polymer or coated wooden chopsticks which can be thoroughly cleaned in regular dishwashers. edit to add: I enjoy Chinese-American fast food, but like all fast food, it is designed to be cheap, not luxury. it would be like going to an American-style fast food restaurant and complaining that all American food is bad because it gets your hands dirty when eating, or complaining that the cheap disposable plastic utensils are hard to clean (which gets to another point that disposable wooden chopsticks are probably much better for the environment than disposable plastic forks/knives, but that's a digression from a digression)
