Now, I'm not coming to be like "oh look at this crazy bitch and her terrible restaurant blah blah blah", but I am more wondering: how on earth does a restaurant become like this?
Seriously. How? How does this happen? I must know!

If I were to start a restaurant today I would maybe have to put down 20000 usd. Any other business you can think of costs a lot fucking more then that. That is why.

a big part of the reason is for whatever reasons people who have NO business in the food industry think its ok to start a restaurant.

you never hear random fucking people say shit like "im an accountant, but in saving up for my dream, to open a muffler shop"

restaurants and bars attract amateurs like probably no other business, so we naturally end up with a bunch of fucked beyond imagination establishments. amy's baking co was maybe uniquely fucked up, but ass-backward retarded restaurants and bars are not unusual.

No shit, tire shops are where it's at. Easier regulations, less equipment, simpler training, quick customer turnover, why wouldn't you open a tire shop?

you know that was not the point i was trying to make, but i have noticed a lot of thriving Mexican tire shops that make bank and run on unskilled labor. not bad.

>> No.4522096

>>4522060
Yeah, I was having a giggle. The thing about restaurants is that there is a romanticism about operating one, built on a creativity foundation similar to art or invention. People don't realize it's a demanding, time consuming, stressful job.

About the tire shops though, the reason I brought it up was the last time I was at one it was a constant stream of customers mostly getting things like patches that took five minutes.

Hi.

I don't normally come to /ck/. At all.

But today I did.

And this was the first thread I saw.

I had no idea who the OP's image was. So I reverse image searched it. "Crazy Amy." Alrighty. Then I looked up the result on youtube.

Now, my friends... I've seen some shit.

Sammy appears to have shitloads of money from his gangbanging days. This is assuming, of course, that his gangbanging days have ended, there's a lot of theories going around that the restaraunt is actually just a money laundering front.

>>4522158

He was arrested in Europe for drug distribution, threats and extortion and is banned from entering Germany and France because of it. Apparently he lied about this on his immigration application and is now facing possible deportion.

most restaurants done by professionals or non-professionals are crappy!

people who went to culinary school come up with the same plane "food" MOST OF IT LAZY DISGUSTING AND BLAND!

that's why the market was taken over by all sort of international foods

PEOPLE GREW TRIED OF YOU LAME CHEFS

some Japanese gramp
or some Chinese granny
some old Mexican aunty
or that old Thai UNCLE
they all make better food and more exciting dishes

go take your bland canned food somewhere else

if you season every fucking dish the same fucking way
you might be a chef but you are making cat-food in my opinion

everything you guys do sucks

want prove compare for example number of Michelin star restaurants in Tokyo with those in any city around her

Ashkenazim = white Jews from Europe. They're the rich ones you imagine when you hear about a doctor or a lawyer or Bilderberg or the rest of the Jewish stereotypes
Mizrahim = Brown Jews from Arabia, Persia and North Africa. They're basically just sandniggers who speak a weird version of Hebrew instead of Arabic.

It isn't too difficult to remember. There are other smaller ones (Ethiopians, Chinese etc.) but unless you live in Israel chances are small that you'll ever encounter one, for the most part the Ashkenazim and Mizrahim are the two big ones.
