I used to live near this Thai place that closed and reopened "under new management" every few months or so. They kept the name and even had the same menus, except sometimes they'd cross out items in Sharpie and write new items in the margin.

It was the best restaurant in town, and I admired their persistence.

We have a place like this too, it’s a Buffet. It’s currently on name 3 with the same menu. Violations include food safety as well as human trafficking…

food safety as well as human trafficking

Wow, that escalated quickly

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 25 points 11 months ago

I mean I can tolerate the one but the other?

I couldn't stand to dine at a place that's violating the law when it comes to food safety.

Sounds like their food is to die for

The best Chinese I had in my town was shut down as it was involved in drug smuggling, money laundering, and human trafficking. The food was so good that dignitaries and Hollywood actors would eat there when passing through town. The owner had photos of himself with 2 presidents (old bush and Clinton) and quite a few actors, along with a bunch of other rich people and stuff.

Sounds like they had plenty of money to reinvest into the business. Good food is good food just goes to show you people don't really care as long as they get what they want.

That got a lot worse very quickly.

do you mean food safety or ...

As a software developer, I'd recommend them to switch to semver, having three digits to separate major, minor and patch numbers. This makes it easier for customers to identify if the new version has just minor fixes (an ingredient removed), breaking changes (eg the menu changes) or major changes (all the waiters were replaced) compared to the previous one.

It was originally just called "Wok"

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

You have to wok before you 1

I love how the 8 is visibly bigger and less worn than the rest of the sign

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 11 points 11 months ago

It just gets slightly larger every time it increments.

To hell with Panda Express and those places. The best Chinese takeout has a number in the name.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I'd be worried if Panda Express had to close down and change their name quarterly every time they had a health inspection.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 12 points 11 months ago

I bet her parents' childhood Chinese take out was just called 'Wok'.

Coming Soon xXWokMaster420Xx

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 10 points 11 months ago

I'd be disappointed if they didn't use that many woks in the process of making my food

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

Cshity Wok?

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

It's just an exo going through some memory wipes, no big deal. Wok-44 is when we need to worry
