/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>15443856
who asked?

Half this board a cult that cheers when anything not hand raised, hand grown and hand cooked dies. The other half worship fast food. Neither them or the fast food fanatics care, so long as "not our shit" gets hurts.

>>15443856
Yeah everywhere is hurting. Why should I care about this place specifically

Blame China dumb faggot

>>15444016
This. Restaurants and bars are really suffering. The place I work went from $6k revenue (small town of 5000 people btw) everyday of the week to only Fridays and Saturdays. Now we get like $3k on weekdays unless it's a special that day that works out very well.

The real tragedy is that I can't got get loaded at the bar til 2 am doing coke in the bathroom and then bringing home trash I meet there or on the way home to fuck. Biden better make shit go back to normal.

>>15443856
I don't have a lot of sympathy for them, because at some point you need to ask yourself: what's more important to you? Protecting your business and culture, or protecting yourself from a cold?

Mexicans are pretty resilient when it comes to street food and such. I think those kinds of food service models will be fine in a few years. A lot of sit-down restaurants will probably have to close down though.

>>15444195
A real big fear is that it means further centralization towards chains and food supply conglomerates.

>>15443856
You know what? I don't really care. We have enough problems at home. Let them worry about it themselves.

>>15443856
That's a lot of unemployed Mexicans.
I wonder where they will go.

Friendly reminder that the virus did not ruin these jobs; the Government did. That goes for your country as well.

>>15444195
>protecting yourself from a cold
+ permanent lung damage and heart markers lul. Most mexicans aren't even doing any of the social distance stuff anyway. My girlfriend's family all got it because they didn't give a fuck and now her grandma has fucked up breathing.

Right, by having a fucking retarded response to the virus unlike South Korea, China, Vietnam, Cuba, almost all of fucking Africa, Japan...

>>15444944
Her great grandmother died 20 years before her grandmother's current age. We've gotten so stupidly scared of the inevitable.

>>15444944
Do you know how rare lung scarring from covid is?

>>15444312
That's been the whole point of COVID. It's been manufactured to allow large multinational monopolies to take a greater stranglehold across a number of industries. COVID has enabled a more rapid and comprehensive move towards centralisation, to such an extent that it's very difficult to believe this wasn't planned.

Why is this board so reddit?

>>15445664
Probably because of the female to male ratio. Women are reddit: the gender.

>>15445664
It’s almost like people do things on the internet to be ironic.

>>15445677
Caring about politics is the most reddit thing about this site, and we all know what board that shit comes from.

for real though, there's one poster who's been here lately who juts posts fucking wojaks and ironically reddit posts and, to his credit, it's driving me insane
imagine being that big of a faggot

Mexico actually has a culture other than capeshit and McDonald’s

>COVID-19 is crushing Mexico City’s food scene and the culinary energy that has made it so thrilling

Yeah? Great so stay down there then Paco and quit jumping our border you fucking wetback

Et tu, retard?

You don't know whether that poster is Mexican, mutt freak.

>>15443856
Good, more space for mcdonalds and burger king. keep the lockdown going so that more privately owned business can fall

>>15446312
Only one out of all of the items listed says “phone poster” and the only reason I’m phone posting is cause I’m at work and I can’t carry my desktop PC with me every day.

right this way, sir!
>want to risk death to go eat a steak dinner
NOOOOOOO, THE HECKIN HOSPITALS ARE HECKIN OVERWHELMED!

I lost my favorite pizzeria which was probably older than me, a nice Korean restaurant which was a bit expensive but had great desserts and curry, as several other joints.

It's sad, but many people have taken a blow in their pockets, and ordering takeaway is the least priority of many, especially when the food is overpriced and relied more on selling the experience and presentation.
After removing that, many restaurants are only left with small, overpriced meals tucked in a styrofoam container.

>>15443856
Shouldn't have relied on tourists in the first place
Fuck them

>>15443856

Woo, stuffed peppers. Big fucking whoop, you can get them anywhere.

>My girlfriend's family all got it because they didn't give a fuck
Yeah, Mexicans are what's making California and Texas have surging cases. The Latin 'cheek kiss' greeting doesn't help either.

>>15446617
yeah, the trump virus is really fucking us over :(

>>15446617
Eryday I'm hustlin....

>>15447151
Cope, bitching over wearing a mask is like a badge of honor for the average magatard.

>>15447221
How is that a cope and what does it have to do with masks? The air kiss is much more likely to spread Covid than a handshake.
Unfortunately the health authorities are generally WASPs or Jews, and don't know Latin culture, which is why there's so much handwringing about caseloads in California and Texas. If they knew something about something, they'd put ads on Telemundo discouraging people from doing it.

>>15444171
>restaurants still open
I'm from Belfast and that shits been shut for months. Some places did thousands of dollars of renovations to be able to safely operate for COVID and then just had to stay shut. It's fucked.

>>15447254
Its common sense.

March 2020
2 weeks to flatten the curve

>Covid is causing small shops to shutdown, allowing large corporations to move in and further push out small business
yeah no shit, are you really only finding this out now?

>>15443856
weren't we warning you pro-lockdown faggots about the consequences of a lockdown?

God forbid we have small business afloat

>>15447722
Not covid, lockdowns.

>>15443856
why are readers of this forum apologizing OP? Seems to me that China should be the one that should be apologizing.

>>15443856
>What do you think /ck/? As covid hits harder more food hotspots get whacked which means no more yummy tacos or cool places to eat.
Duh. Why are you eating out right now, fool?

Street food will eventually come back. The only loss of culture would be if everyone literally died and forgot how to make the things they liked. It's pretty unlikely that culture will be lost forever.
Certain restaurants of international acclaim, or long standing history, could close and never reopen if their owners had zero savings. The older the establishment, the better financially you'd think they could do when they own their building, and have had loyal employees that were paid well for decades.
Actual street food comes and goes since they have little overhead. I'm not sure WTF any "suspicious government lack of help" you think should be handed out. Restaurants will suffer from business as long as vaccines are still rolling out. Give it another 9-12mo. If mexico's govt doesn't have actual vaccines whatsoever in that time, you can bitch at them.

He doesn't need to provide you with anything. Get off your ass and find a citation yourself. The whole reason got amputated legs and massive bodywide bloodclots isn't because covid is cardioprotective, dummy. You can assume there will be tissue and cell injury bodywide, not just cardiac muscle injury.
It goes from the sinuses straight to the hippocampus too, which is why you have a loss of sense of taste/smell, but everyone else just gets insomnia and sucky sleep ever since so-called recovery https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/12/covid-19-sleep-pandemic-zzzz/617454/

The burden of proof lies on the one making the claim.

Why should I apologize for something i didn’t cause? This is depressing but I have done nothing to cause this pandemic

>>15443856
Could draconian global lockdowns not have been worth a very slight reduction in 90 yo deaths? Dare it be considered?

>>15447730
>>15447918

They're all for corporate globalism and the CCP is the thing. The virus has no relevance in the lockdowns at this point, as even with "the vaccines" they're talking of making it last several more months.

inb4 the take your meds discord trannies try to gaslight because they don't have an argument.
