Ghost Kitchens -- Feature Blog Of The Day -- July 2, 2021

One of  the themes of the blog: the pandemic compressed 2020 - 2035 into 2020 - 2025.

Here's another example.

Ghost kitchens.

Apparently The New York Times introduced the term in 2015. 

The concept was chugging along. In 2020, the concept broke out and became mainstream.

"Ghost kitchens": anyone can create a "restaurant."
rent a commercial kitchen or rent space at a commercial kitchen;
create one's own menu; breakfast, lunch, dinner, or the whole shebang
come up with a name for your restaurant and create an award-winning web page
take orders and GrubHub, DoorDash, UberEats, etc.,  will deliver. 

Wiki here. 

This is incredibly clever. 

 

 

I personally don't care for most "delivered food." Delivered food seems not to travel well nor does it look particularly appealing when it arrives. There are exceptions. Pizza, for example. Perhaps "stir fry." But not sushi. Over time that, too, will get sorted out.
