"Temporarily closes" may have been a better headline.

I thought it meant they were shutting for good, which would be pretty ridiculous.

An entire restaurant chain commuting seppuku... Ridiculous!

An appropriate response if they want to repair their image. If cleanliness got that bad at even one of their restaurants then that means there's at least a few more that aren't that far behind.

He sacrificed his life for more soup umami

I liked that there was a full-page Panda Express ad in the middle of a story about vermin in food.

Oh god, what will that guy that only eats at Sukiya do until they reopen? He's gonna starve.

not an amazing restaurant, to be honest

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People don't go there for amazing food, they go to get an extra large beef rice bowl, salad, and a cup of miso soup in under 5 minutes for 7 bucks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

yeah i mean i used to eat there, and similar places. a bit of a sad vibe. maybe tasted better to locals. also, it was really long ago, but i feel like the word 'salad' is a bit of an overstatement

Reminds me of when people we're like, casabonita has bad food! 1.) It was fine and 2.) People dont go to CB for the food

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

they go because their friend could invite 3 friends and one of the original 3 was unavailable

7 dollars for rice, lettuce, mostly water, and maybe a 1/4 pound of beef?

I jest. Merely commenting on how all restaurants are scams if you're looking for a good deal.

Do your cooking at home, people. It's faster, easier, cheaper, and healthier to just make food in the oven than it is to drive to a restaurant or, god forbid, use a delivery app.

Open your minds. Experiment. Eating doesn't have to be something you show off to your peers.

Need protein? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Marketside-Cheddar-Bratwurst-5-Links-1-lb-3-oz-Fresh/5113233441

$4 gets you a little over a pound of bratwurst. Bake it in your oven, put it in a tortilla with a slice of American cheese.

You now have 19g of protein and ~400 calories for $1.

Add fries to the oven and you almost have a complete meal. Just need a veggie, like broccoli.

Ah yes the quick and easy meal that'll add two hours to an already shity day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

2... hours? My oven is pretty weak, but they're ready in 35 minutes if I include fries. The fries take longer.

Compared to getting in my car and waiting in line, it's about the same time. The real benefit though comes from the fact that I don't have to tend to it constantly. While I'm getting food at a restaurant, I can't be doing something else.

Seriously, give it a shot. You may be surprised.

If that's too much for you, you can make your own meatball subs. I can give instructions if you're interested, but it's pretty easy to figure out how. You can use your microwave, too. It's much faster.

Remaining restaurants remove 'Rat Soup' from the menu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Caught in a real rat act.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

They should import some Louisiana alligators to deal with the rat problem. When the alligators become an invasive species, add Alligator Sauce Piquante to the menu. Problem solved.
