Concept restaurant is when the meal costs more than your monthly salary, arrives stone cold and covered in dead ants, and the reviews try to convince you it's actually the best restaurant in the world because it's making an important statement about sustainability or some such bullshit. Yes, I'm talking about Noma.

I think KFC is shutting down across Canada. They got their clock cleaned by Popeyes in recent years. Supposedly a big reason is that Popeyes is halal while KFC isn’t.

I worked at a KFC in France for a while and their stuff was marked as halal. I also worked at KFC in the US but that was like 15 years ago and I was even more of an idiot then than now and I wouldn't have noticed even if it were.

About 10% of KFCs in the UK are halal-certified (the nearest one to me is one of them); the only real difference is that you pay about 30p less on certain sandwiches because of the lack of bacon.

I'm surprised nobody has weighed in with like the legal definition of restaurant, because I'm pretty sure that's regulated by legislation, unlike more abstract taxonomy like what counts as a sandwich, where there's only judicial precedent. Also Japan's pretty densely packed with McD's.

Iceland used to have McDonalds but they bailed in the financial collapse. The franchise owners changed the name to Metro which is basically an RC Cola to McDonalds' Coke. Same thing but less so.

Growing up Popeyes was literally the only fast food I was allowed to eat, that and Pizza Pizza I guess. Edit: Muslims make up like 3% of the Canadian population though so I don't think it was a big factor.

Yeah, claiming that KFC would shut down across all of Canada over halal reeks of propaganda about the country being "overrun" with Muslims. As was said, Muslims are a small percentage of Canada's population, and they're concentrated mostly in certain areas. I seriously doubt their eating preferences could bring KFC to quit on the entire country (if they're actually doing that).

Pardon my ignorance but I thought Chicken was Halal. Hell I don't know of a single non-vegetarian religion that bans chicken. Is it something to do with preperation? I thought Halal was a lot less demanding than Kosher on that front.

I also think there is some controversy about the animal having to be conscious. Also, some other restrictions and you need certification from an independent body. Could be, I am half remembering this from a TV news segment about a factory that instituted halal practices to start exporting to Gulf countries.

There are halal slaughterhouses in Europe and they're widely regarded as controversial, because while non-halal ones supposedly* sedate animals before slaughtering them, this is not allowed under halal practice. Instead, the idea there is to simply kill the animals quickly by slicing their neck in a single quick knife swipe. * I say supposedly because people who claimed to be inspectors and snuck in with cameras showed quite clearly that half the time the sedation doesn't work and the animals are either painfully gassed or thrown into boiling water while they're still alive. Also don't expect their hygiene to be any good. It's not surprising that slaughterhouses have been covid superspreader locations several times already. In my opinion the meat industry as a whole is utter poo poo. I have nothing against eating meat but it would be nice if we could just trust the hygiene is in order and also the animals aren't being tortured before death.

Supposed controversies over halal meat are probably just racist dog whistles, though. An industry whose job is to slaughter unwilling sentient beings is not ethical by definition, everything else is just details.
