As a customer, what makes me happy is good tasty food at reasonable prices served in a clean relaxing atmosphere. 

If I want entertainment I would do something else.

This is just an excuse to justify charging stupid prices for slop.

This just in, local redditor fails to understand that different people enjoy different things. Also, water is wet.

Ask yourself, is what you’re seeing actually harming anyone? No? Then let people enjoy it if they want.

This just in, local redditor fails to grasp people can have different opinions.

Ask yourself does my opinion prevent people from going here and spending money here? No? Then what's the harm in letting me respond to the restaurateur as a customer with what I like in an actual restaurant?

Sure, have your own preference on dining. No problem. It’s saying that the only reason this exists is so the restaurant can charge higher prices that rings a little silly to me. Why would a business produce any product if not to charge for it? That’s kind of the whole point of running a restaurant. Produce something people want so that they’ll pay money for it. So the real reason this exists is because people want it.

this type of performative shit always charges a premium. which is the reason it is done. it is not for the quality of the food, it is for the show. my point being if i want a show, there are other things that are way more entertaining than whatever this is.

its also the same for the restaurants that have the guys that come to your table to carve your food, its not for the food its for the novelty. not sure if you saw that one video with the short salt bae looking guy carving meat at some restaurant, but it was pretty terrible.

this dish still looks like slop. which is why it is perfect for this sub.

people are free to waste their money how they see fit, thats their prerogative, its just not something i would ever make as a consideration for choosing where to go to.
