I wonder like for how many marketing departments on your first day of the job they just hand you a bluray of the Minority Report

Genghis Kahn is by far the greatest hero of Mongolia. They erected one of those gigantic statues of him there and they're extremely proud of his world-conquering exploits. But in the USA he's a human cartoon character.

Subconscious menu is a great idea, people will end up ordering pizzas stacked high with bizarre and unfamiliar toppings at which they stared in puzzlement, trying to decipher their shapes and colors. Also lots of combinations of shit they like but that goes horribly together.

"here is your pizza topped with naked pictures of your ex-girlfriends"

I am pretty sure how some late night pizza by the slice places operate

i had to look up dayparts because i thought it said ladyparts at first and then i realized wtf is a daypart

i hereby propose renaming ILX "Innovation Across All Dayparts" and renaming the top eight sub-boards after these bullet points

Taco John's has Fritos chips in some products along with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I wonder if there are chip/taco exclusives to be negotiated here

this is incredible

Forget cronuts and negronis. Forget quinoa and kale. Short of putting food into our mouths,
technology is upending the way dining out works. Electronic wizardry once hummed quietly in
the background ... but now we're immersed in "front-facing technology" or "guest-facing
technology": all sorts of devices and programs that interface directly with the consumer. More
restaurant companies experiment with tablets ... letting guests order food and drink from their
tables; play games while they're waiting; then pay with smartphones ... meeting a waiter when
an order is delivered, or when it's time for a refill from the bar, or for upselling desserts.

Forget cronuts and negronis.

lolololol

i'll never get over cronuts and negronis

2014 was the year I started really enjoying negronis only to find out they'd baconed

oh shit seriously

gin and dairy, together at last

ah well. on to the bijou i guess *tips straw boater*

negroni and cronuts are funny together because they have the same /ow/ diphthong as bone, groan, moan, joan, stone (and alone, grown, known, cone)
also when you order a negroni you have to say "groany" and that's funny

:D

my negroni has a first name
C-R-O-N-U-T

POTATO NET

Did Boston Market learn nothing about burgers during the seven years (2000-07) it was owned by McDonald’s?

INDEPENDENT BURGER RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR
Burger Revolution, Belleville, Ont.
It’s difficult to single out one burger joint, but Burger Revolution’s husband and wife co-owners Jeff and Rayling Camacho do a lot of things right:

I can't believe this is real. I won't believe it until I taste one, all greasy and smothered with onion. For vegetarians who love BAD FOOD, this is heaven.

otm, can't wait
