Ok so I have had the name Pasta Emotions in my head for years now as a restaurant name, its great, stupid but like KINDA valid, you wouldn't doubt it's real.


Any way.

Its called Pasta Emotions, and when you enter you're given a tasting board of sauces and additions.

They are all about Emotions and Feelings. And you chose them based on your current state on entering the restaurant.

You choose them to match your current "feels"


This is a wooden tasting tray, the circles are small bowls or shot glasses.

The Cross is shot glasses of pasta sauce. To sample and decide. With additions around it.

Vertical is Love to Hate. Hate being dark and rich, Love being light and fruity

Horizontal is the tart tomato/salt level. I guess. Peace being lightest. War Most. This could change, and be better.

The 4 Additions, Oil, Garlic, Salt and Herbs can be added to adjust where you are on the cross.

You chose one vertical and one horizontal , add the additions...

There's also pasta. I don't know about that fully, undecided. But, to be pure poo poo I'm thinking its The 7 Deadly Sins themed pasta.


THE RESULT goes to teh Chef and he cooks it exactly.



Who knows.

Its hosed.

How about a Mexican restaurant that served really bland burritos without any sort of spice & heat. We'd name it after making GBS threads ones self and occasionally mix in some Salmonella into the meat so our customers actually poo poo their pants after eating it.

Something like ShitOlAway. Got to work on the name.

Sometimes I've thought about opening a hole in the wall type of restaurant that sells kebabs to hungry patrons 24/7, I expect most sales will be done during the night between 1 and 3am. I'll call it The Food Hole.

I absolutely would buy a kebab at the Food Hole. My favourite early morning kebab place closed years ago :(

Also a DIY store where we provide the ingredients you can take home and cook yourself.

A burger place that sells one burger. A day.

An amazing and affordable restaurant that openly ridicules right wing cishet people, called the Agenda.

A restaurant where you just get mugged.

A restaurant where you keep getting told to talk to another server who refers you to someone else, ad infinitum, until you realise you need to tell them what you *already* ordered.

My (32F) husband (36M) wants to start a 'restaurant for magicians', and it is tearing our family apart[new](self.relationships)
submitted 2 years ago by davidcopperfield9273 to /r/relationships

quote:

I've been with my partner for 8 years, we have a 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter. Our relationship has been a little rocky, partly due to his highly demanding job in the restaurant industry, but we love each other deeply, and always will. He has been the head chef of a relatively successful restaurant for 3 years now, and is the only source of income for our family, since I left my job in the charity sector to look after our children.

For the past 4 or so months he has been floating the idea of starting a 'restaurant for magicians', with increasing seriousness and dedication. It is not obvious what this entails, so I ought to explain. He envisions a restaurant which, unbeknownst to the general public, is littered with magical props: levitating tables, bending cutlery, and torn-and-restored menus, to name a few. The meals served to customers can be requested to have particular playing cards secreted inside, to allow for spectacular reveals, and if you ask a waiter to think of a card, he will always say the 7 of Hearts. The idea here, it seems, is to allow for an enviroment where men on dates (who are in on the scheme) are able to impress their companions with seemingly spontaneous magic tricks requiring little skill, or where amateur magicians can go to perform relaxed impromtu shows.

I'm going to reserve my commentary on the merit of this idea until later (I imagine you can guess), but I should explain that my husband has never shown a remote interest in magic until around 4 months ago, when he met his friend, who in this post we will call Chris. Chris is something of a magic enthusiast, and since meeting him my husband has become encapsulated by this idea (I am using this throwaway account because Chris is an avid Reddit user). Over the past two weeks Chris has conviced my husband that he ought to quit his job and use all of our savings to start this restaurant, which would burden our family with an enormous amount of financial uncertainty. We had a huge fight about this two nights ago, during which I said some things that I have come to regret, insulting his restaurant idea, his cooking, and his new friend Chris.

During this fight my husband argued that he ought to be allowed to follow his dreams, and that his idea is good because 'Chris came up with it and Chris is a magician and magicians are smart'. This honestly does not seem like the man I fell in love with, who was creative but also pragmatic and level-headed. His fixation on Chris seems to have massively clouded his judgement, and I don't believe it is possible to rely on this 'restaurant for magicians' idea to feed our family of four.

How can I convince my husband that this idea is bad without hurting him or damaging our relationship? He is incredibly sensitive about it, and would seemingly jump through 1000 hoops to come to the defence of Chris, a person he DID NOT KNOW just 4 months ago.

TL;DR My husband's bizarre idea for a restaurant is going to leave our family without financial support, how can I convince him of this?

A space cuisine restaurant where you eat just like an astronaut and whatever an astronaut eats. There is a space shuttle ride in the corner for kids and a lot of tacky decor

e: I'm sorry to announce that Space Restaurant is closing for good after three months in business. We thank our patron for their trust in us and wish everyone the best. God bless

e: it was because of the funeral home, not because business wasn't good cause buisness was booming. Anyway, god bless

A Soft Nylon Bag
A restaurant where menu items are coded but you aren’t given the key to the code immediately but you have to figure it out over multiple visits. For instance on your first visit you order a turkey club with sliced avocado but you receive pasta bolognese topped with malt vinegar. Based upon this information you next order pasta bolognese with malt vinegar and you receive chicken Marsala topped with sliced avocado, so you’ve deciphered the code “malt vinegar” will get you sliced avocado.

This but the entire thing is themed up as one of those street side cooking stalls found in the ruins of Pompeii and serves ancient greco-roman food (fish, octopus, kebabs, flat breads, fish sauce, game fowl, lots of arugula instead of silphium etc).

Call it in the "Pop in, eh?" (popinae is different term for what these are, thermopolia)

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
Those cafes where they let cats wander around are a terrible idea and I have no idea why people like them. Cats are disgusting animals that step in their own piss and poo poo and then walk on the surfaces people prepare and eat their food when they're not busy just putting their assholes on them. Who the gently caress thought this was a good idea and how are they allowed to operate without being shut down due to health code violations?
