    First time I saw a restaurant with an app only menu (that obviously required your phone number too) I just froze in confusion, looked at the staff like they were stupid (they looked me the same) and left. It was in Tallinn, Estonia. Later when I checked the rewievs of the place, those implied that it was more of a money laundering place than an actual restaurant, but I won’t go further into that. Suspicious anyways. Found great food in the next door restaurant, they had a normal menu as did most other restaurants except some take-away pizzerias.

    Is it really apps that are getting out of control? I still get by just fine not using them.

    Prices, on the other hand… I’ll just say sitting down at a proper restaurant is often a viable alternative.

      I knew a place where, during the day, I could get all-you-can-eat Sushi for the same price as a McDonalds menu.

      Absolute no-brainer.

    I have fast food maybe once a year, closer to every 2 years. I don’t understand the appeal. Unless it’s Culver’s. Even then, rarely done.

    Even the infamous McDonald’s French fry doesn’t taste like it’s worth the calories any more.

      You’re better off finding the local taco truck with Hispanic consumers or even an American / Asian fusion place for some takeout.
