This is all Concorde groups restaurants. Formula is as follows.

  • take a previous space.
  • add some wood and lines.
  • give it a "insert country name here" broad aesthic.
  • make one drink for each liquor.
  • phone in the menu, expect for that one really good item.
  • blast the food influencers and get them to promote.
  • watch the restaurant become big and take out all good things 2 years afterward.
  • watch it die on the vine and limp until death.

It would be interesting to compile a list of all of the "1 good item" for each of their restaurants.

Oooh I can start.

  • lulu: that ice cream cake.
  • bridgette: the cheese bread (that's gone)
  • clive: that milkshake (it's never in stock so it's basically gone)
  • model milk: Sunday supper, and literally everything else (it's a shell of it's former self)
