It isn't traditional and it's a guarantee the proprietor is chasing touristbux, which is to say, the food will be made to vulgarian tastes and the service will be altered to suit warped am*rican sensibilities

If your favorite auténtico ostería or obscure hole in the wall warung has started accepting credit cards, or a printed menu, it is time to find another place that serves proper food. If your favorite cha chaan teng starts offering napkins (especially if they do not charge you for them), leave immediately.

You may not have noticed it yet (although you probably have), but these are signs that the cost cutting and compromises have already begun.

What are some other telltale cues that a restaurant has lost its way? This thread is only for discriminating diners who recognize and appreciate authenticity. Creepy sexpat english teachers who eat begpacker food like 添好運 can find another thread.

Most "snobs" aren't really snobs by any reasonable definition, they're just people with basic standards which trigger the shit out of the kind of dirtbags who will put literally anything in their mouth as long as they saw a Super Bow ad for it

Name even three of those vegetables. Google not allowed.

>this food enrages the flyover as he becomes overwhelmed with confusion, self pity, and fear
Think about it. You cannot refute this.

>the flyovers have learned about georgian food
That's not a khachapuri
It wasn't a cronut either
That wasn't pho
You've never actually had proper sushi

>waah mommy I have exacting standards for a premium niche product that I refuse to compromise on because I'm a broke NEET
>must be the CHINAMAN's fault!
Why not make your own if you think you know better than a company that sells thousands of those things every year and has to eat the cost of warranty claims

The fact that it tastes different. Am*rican producers bank on the fact that the average wine consumer here buys wine as a one-off purchase to act like "rich people" during a special occasion meal, so most Am*ricans won't notice or care. Moreover, if you point out the fact that there are readily obvious taste differences they will get angry and defensive and start screeching about "innovation" which is Am*rican for stockholm syndrome.

Am*riKKKoids think anything that isn't boneless skinless tendies is basically equivalent to eating cobra prostates

>huh better go fucking nuts and live off distilled water and cabbage
Why can't whites just eat a balanced diet consisting of mostly vegetables and a reasonable (~300g cooked weight) portion of meat once or twice a week.

And does it really have to be either steamed unsalted boneless tenderloin all the time or XXX-TREEEM habanero ghost pepper bear spray dumped over gross-out "weird food" andrew zimmern novelty testicles? Can't you just enjoy a standard cut like tongue or cheek or flap steak?

This is clearly a shop because carnists can't afford a decent copper pan, that's why they have to sperg over their smelly, greasy, sticky, filth-encrusted cast iron all the time

>>14068852
the only way to kill the bad stuff is to end carnism

What Americans mistake for "capitalism" is really corporate welfare for monoculture companies like Dow, ADM, Cargill, Smithfield, Perdue, and The Company Formerly Known As Monsanto (they were so reviled they literally had to disguise themselves as a German company best known for creating gas chamber chemicals for the Nazis)

Polyculture, which is only physically possible in coastal states such as California and New York, produces real food. It costs more because it's not subsidized by corporate welfare

Looks good, too bad you don't have any wine and had to resort to a substandard beverage like beer

I'm not familiar with either of those, but I don't patronize stores in cage-bound food deserts. If you don't have old ladies on granny bikes where you shop for groceries I feel sorry for you.

Well la di da Mr. Hipster Foodie. I bet you eat the newfangled neapolitan ice cream to show how "progressive" you are.

I can't imagine being in a position where I'm actually culturally intimidated by the alcoholic ex-cons who prepare my food, are you the same person who rages mindlessly against "entitled" waitstaff and the teenaged baristas at the coffee shop who make more than you?
