>>89553273
Mexican food trucks that are actually run by Hispanic ladies who don't speak a lick of English are the best.

In terms of quality they're up there along with Middle Eastern places that use questionable meat and sell cheap falafels and Greek cafes with Gyros that have too much Tzatziki.

Typing this out I recognize these don't sound appetizing but God they taste so good.

eh the hippie food trucks get a bit preachy with whatever stupid fad diet they are specializing in this week, ignoring political sillyness.

That's not the ones he's referencing, it's the fad food trucks that have you follow them on twitter so they can update you on which street they decided to sell on. They sell mixed cuisine or whatever, Bob's burgers had an episode on like their second season about this fad.

>>89555562
It's bland, severely mediocre, the service is poor, everything is lacking in spices or is heavy in some generic sauce, and it just feels incredibly fake.

>>89555625

Ah. Okay then.

>>89555625

"Feels"? It "feels" fake to you anon? Interesting. Please tell me how that works, exactly, and do it without being vague. Please explain to me how you "feel" a restruant is "fake". That's really interesting how you can "feel" an occupied space, but go ahead, we're all waiting and looking forward to finding out more about this phenomenon you're supposedly "capable" of - the "feel"ing of a restruant.

>>89555695

>>89555695
You ever seen that nuSpongebob episode where they sell out and make the Krusty Krab the Krabby O'Mondays? That's how.

O'Charlies, TGI Fridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays, they're all incredibly generic, soulless restaurants that have their food set at the lowest bar. You only go to those places if you have no choice or you really want a particular item.

Show biz. Started quite a while back, and slowly became a common thing in chain restaurants.

On that note, I have a little Italian place I usually go to and they'll bring you out a free piece of tiramisu with a candle if you tell them it's your birthday. Much more subtle and respectable, if you ask me. Plus, it means a good tip.

>>89556177
>the thread blow up on a flamewar of "Huuur is this satire??"
Isn't the thread mostly a discussion on restaurants though?

>>89555562

It's not "bad" per se, it's just incredibly mediocre and homogenized. They treat their servers like crap, so that usually translates into getting crappy service. It's sort of like the McDonald's of sit-down restaurants.

With smaller local restaurants, you tend to get better service and more variety in the menu. Depending on where you live, you may get to try different ethnic foods or things that you've never had before.

>>89556044
>is it as cringy for you yanks as well?

Yes. I think most people involved with they were dead and people only tell the staff to embarrass their friends/children/significant other.

I looked this up at some point, and it was actually because the scurvy cure was first linked to lemons. There was some kind of embargo or a colony lost in a war, and the British Navy could no longer get a steady supply of lemons. They had to use limes instead which is where the derision comes in. Nothing about scurvy, but about losing the original source of lemons. I think it was the Spanish who popularized it.

>Going off TV and Movies

There's your problem.

Mad thing is, the differences in accent can be bloody staggering with only a small distance between cities or towns. Especially when you consider that the UK can fit inside Texas 5 times.

Even just in Wales there are distinct North/South accents, with some accents in the far north sounding slightly more scouse than others.

Berlin has seen rounds of ruinous pricing wars, though. Shops trying to undermine one another with 1.50€ kebabs when 2.50€ is the absolute minimum to turn a profit on a good product.
Have there been fights between taco trucks or do they just drive away?

See but these aren't banks.

>You misunderstand the concept of competition in the market

Most food trucks are usually indepently ran. It's not like one company owns EVERY food truck. They're either ran by someone looking to make his own profit or ran by multiple business competing with other food trucks. It's not monopoly because there's still competition amongst these trucks.

>>89559012

>>89559281
When I stated you have to learn to adapt, I meant adapt to competition.

That's a hypothetical, but even still it's not like Walmart will have a monopoly considering how other companies will also follow suit.

It's sorta like how blockbuster took out the mom and pop video stores and then Redbox took them out. At least it would be for the good of the consumer.

>>89553349

In this case the joke is how worked up and demonizing he's being over such a non-issue.

>>89559517

Not necessarily. Large businesses will often cooperate, agreeing not to undermine one another so that nobody has to lower prices or raise wages.

>>89557714
Not that guy, but Kelly comics serve two purposes:
1. Make fun of political cartoons
2. Make fun of conservatives

It's not that hard to figure out.

I really think the part about conservatives is a misconception. Stan Kelly is a character, the comics that he draws are only illustrative of his point of view. That's why half the time he's just grumbling about whatever's on his mind. You don't see any kind of movement by conservatives against food trucks of all things.

>>89559584

>>89563204
Some of the stuff is stupid but some experiments are great. Asian pulled pork burrito? Fucking amazing.

>>89563490
>grilled cheese
>walnuts

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.
You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.
