Sure, and I have seen a fair share of new ones start off on the wrong foot and fail within 2 years. There’s a variety of reasons: Too expensive, for vegan places only offering frozen premade proteins (Gardein and beyond meat are the usual suspects), or simply not doing enough to stand out among their many, many competitors.
But I’ve also seen a childhood BBQ place that my family would travel 45 min out of the way for shut down, along with a 15 year old vegan restaurant not even give its employees notice as it suddenly shut down one day. Hell even Denny’s are starting to close down in noticeable numbers. People just have less to spend frivolously than they used to even 5 years ago.
The small business BBQ places have been closing in my area of the south for a couple of years now, and as much as I’d like to ve-goon over people gaining more empathy for animals, the truth is that vegan restaurants are also closing down at about the same rate.
Most specialty restaurants of all varieties have upped their prices while lowering their quality. Combine that with being expected to tip 20% if you eat in, and a lot of people would rather learn how to cook the more expensive items themselves as long as they can get their hands on the ingredients. And when it comes to BBQ your local grocery store will usually have a corpse slaughterer ready to go with custom cuts for those that ask. Hell, even if you consider the BBQ needs special equipment, almost all corporate apartment rentals have tiny grills outside (to reduce fire hazards, not out of generosity lmao) and when they don’t small free parks typically have a couple. As a former carnist myself I know that corpse cooks itself half the time. Ok that sounds weird, what I’m trying to say It’s generally low skill beginner cooking as long as the cuts aren’t too thick. Chopped flesh will basically just cook in its own fat once the heat is high enough. Sure, it won’t be cooked as nicely as a standard BBQ place, but for the average person it’ll be good enough, especially once they get some practice in.
I think the places that are going to stay open in the near future are going to serve food that’s either high labor / annoying to make (sushi, high-end gourmet meals, deep fried foods, pastries ect) or uses very specialized / expensive equipment (like hot pot, waffles, ice cream made from scratch). Maybe you’ll have a few that also use ingredients that you can’t find anywhere else (for example, some carnists still go out of their way for gator tail restaurants here in FL), but I doubt they’ll be the majority.
Oh and btw

You can BBQ mushrooms too

Pop Culture@hexbear.net•Candace Owens published leaked TPUSA audio with Erika Kirk celebrating merchandise sales of Charlie Kirk funeralEnglish
8·10 days agoSo she had people working up to 20-hour days for a solid week, and then immediately tries to guilt them into
- Stop infighting (It’s slowing down productivity!)
- Work through the grief (of your boss dying???) with pastors that are probably way cheaper than professional therapists and ONLY take paid time off with your boss’s approval
- Want time off anyway? Good luck getting approval for time off because HOLY SHIT LOOK AT ALL THIS MONE- I mean uuuuuuh BLESSINGS that we (you) will have to work on fulfilling
- Also, don’t even fucking think about questioning her Christian nationalist girlboss plans for the next 4 years because OUR PRECIOUS DEAD PAYCHEC- um HOLY MARTYR wrote it in his special diary, and you’re shitting and pissing all over her husband’s corpse if you ever doubt her.
I’d feel bad for the workers, but if anyone deserves to get wrung out and hung up to dry it would be these chuds.

1·18 days agoI know I’m a whopping 4 days late to this, but I always assumed the White House had frozen ingredients delivered from a McDonald’s warehouse, were inspected on site, and then prepared by a White House chef (with fast food equipment purchased just for our big beautiful slop boy) and put in the shitty cardboard and logo’d paper baggie fresh for in house delivery.
But when it’s bulk fast food for other people? Yeah I bet they get the coldest saddest food possible.

I’m guessing GoFundMe is somewhat decent at protecting anonymous donations, though.
