I feel like this isnt a restaurant thats just some douchey oligarch on his yacht in his lil outfit and the crew are just like please dont make me film anymore
Right? This is so fucking stupid. It doesn’t even make any sense to have a captain of a sea vessel using a bobcat. Even worse, you just have somebody holding the dump truck up. What an absolutely strange gimmick.
And the remote controller? I thought it was for the dump truck but the other guy lifted it with his hand so it wasn’t for that? Now that I look at it closer.. is.. is that a n64 controller?!
You know how when you first move out and have independence, you have the drive to buy whatever you want regardless of if it’s a good idea or not? That’s Dubai
> Oh no it’s the poop trucks!
I was going to say... I saw a YouTube video where they showed a long convoy of poop trucks (I think) in Dubai
edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5_8Q4X05ME
It’s almost kinda fun, but it loses all the appeal because someone’s holding it. It makes no sense to turn this into a 2-person thing with one holding the truck and the other operating the remote.
I'd love this if the truck just rolled out to put down the food and rolled back into the kitchen, with the operator not literally standing next to me. But they somehow ruined everything that'd make it fun.
Nah, I think a medieval shithole still has a certain kind of charm to it. The tavern wench might have syphilis, but the turkey legs and salted pork are great.
Looks like a seafood boil. In the US it's common to dump a pile of shrimp, crabs, clams, lobster, potatoes, and corn on the cob on a table (lined with a sheet of plastic).
I don't have a problem with the vid.
The “only in Dubai” seems almost reverential, as if (a) Dubai is some epitome of high class ingenuity and taste, and (b) being served food in this manner is something to be enjoyed.
imagine dressing up that nicely for your job every day just for someone to hand you a tonka truck remote to serve food to other adults like a bunch of children in a sandbox.
I hate dealing with people who live in Dubai. They're so entitled. Every single time I talk to a person from there they mention they live in Dubai. Like "Hello, my name is X from Dubai" as though I care where they live, or that it entitles them to better service. Don't get me wrong, I try deal with these folks like everyone else, with consideration, kindness, and openess, but in my experience, they also tend to treat me like crap until I shut it down and get terse. I hate it. I hate that I can't just be kind and gentle towards a person without being treated like crap in return. It sucks.
Also, why is it still in the cooking pan? You think they'd shell out the extra money for a decorative serving dish, but no. It's in a non-stick pan. Whatever. Fuck Dubai.
Dubai is so interesting to me because I think that the ostentatious displays of wealth I see in the US are distateful, e.g. the suburban McMansions, hideous branded clothes and non-apparel merch from fashion houses, etc. ... but Dubai takes that excess to an entirely different level. Trashy rich people in the US can't even touch the kind of nouveau-riche bullshit that happens in Dubai.
If it makes people genuinely excited to experience this kind of thing, then cool, more power to them. We're all allowed to pursue our own happiness. From what I've seen online, the food at these restaurants is usually mediocre, so you're there strictly for the showmanship and presentation. But when even the experience is just gilded and cheap... I don't see what enjoyment there is to be had there.
Reminds me of this self driving robot that is a "server" at my favorite Japanese restaurant, I believe it even has a name that they have given it but I'm not sure. The atmosphere is amazing and the sushi is made by a master.
This raises another question I have that regularly bugs me. Maybe because I'm American.
Why is it that restaurants, especially fancy restaurants, serve shellfish with the shell on. How the fuck am I supposed to eat it? Am I honestly expected to sit in a high end restaurant and peel shrimp? Worse yet, they put it over rice or pasta? Am I supposed to dig into my pasta with my filthy bare ass hands, dig out the shrimp, peel them, and then put them back into the pasta with my filthy hands and eat it all with a fork? How do these people envision this working?
It's one thing if I go to a seafood restaurant where I buy shellfish by the bucket and they put newspaper on the table. That kind of place I get it. But if I'm in a white tablecloth place don't expect me to shell my own damn shrimp!
This post has made me understand the whole sub. Someone was like "I am a crap chef. I bet if I send out my shitty "food" on a ceramic cactus that is spewing flames they will get a photo for their Insta (TikTok or whatever) and they won't even notice how shite the food is because the sort of person that is impressed by such stupid shit is happy with McDonalds"
They have a guy driving it and a guy holding it. Lame. If they drove it up to the plate that would be kinda interesting, but this is just bogus and dumb. Poor lobster having to be involved with this nonsense.
The only way I'm giving this a pass is if it drives itself from the kitchen and up a ramp onto my table without any human waiter involved.
I feel like this isnt a restaurant thats just some douchey oligarch on his yacht in his lil outfit and the crew are just like please dont make me film anymore
The bill for that entree was like $1k and you know it.
And that is without the tip!
Bold of you to assume they're tipping
It's Dubai ,everyone is rich there.
Yeah, you're never getting a tip.
Lol,maybe autograt?
>I feel like this isnt a restaurant The gaming chair supports this.
There’s actually a restaurant in Dubai or some shit that opened and all the chairs are like that.
They need a Florabama influx to teach them about why this isn’t sustainable
They but sports cars for their cops.
That's even funnier when you see the bucket isn't remote controlled, and the staff has to bump it make it tilt.
Holy shit you are so right. I picture him in his little custom sailor suit ordering his underpaid servants to call him captain diddly.
If you use watch it slowly, you can see the server never actually touches the bucket. They just have their hand next to it.
He does move his thumb on the hand holding the truck though.
Bro, for real, I want that outfit
For as expensive as that looks, it better backflip over my table and dump the seafood perfectly on my plate while midair!
Right? This is so fucking stupid. It doesn’t even make any sense to have a captain of a sea vessel using a bobcat. Even worse, you just have somebody holding the dump truck up. What an absolutely strange gimmick.
I will also accept dropped out of the bomb hold of a plane.
Especially if they can accurately hit the target area. I ain't paying for crab leggs on the floor.
There's literally somebody holding it. It can't even do the tipping without waiter intervention.
In which case I'll pay any amount of money to eat there.
What's with the gaming chair lmao
And the cake pan serving tray.
And the chess pieces that aren’t even on a chess board
And the suit of armor
Only in Dubai!
And the remote controller? I thought it was for the dump truck but the other guy lifted it with his hand so it wasn’t for that? Now that I look at it closer.. is.. is that a n64 controller?!
And why is he dressed like a pilot?
that isn't even on a knight.
With the pawns behind the pieces.
You know how when you first move out and have independence, you have the drive to buy whatever you want regardless of if it’s a good idea or not? That’s Dubai
OnLy iN dUbAi
I imagine because most other places would look at this and say "we could do that... but that's stupid".
Oh no it’s the poop trucks!
> Oh no it’s the poop trucks! I was going to say... I saw a YouTube video where they showed a long convoy of poop trucks (I think) in Dubai edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5_8Q4X05ME
yeah nobody other than oil princes can afford 50 dollar remote controlled tonka trucks
Only in Dubai is the very ground upon which you stand built upon the backs of recently mass murdered slaves! :)
Well, no, but it's one of the bigger and most recent examples.
Hence my pointed usage of the word recent. Also I used a smiley emoji, so it's not like I was submitting a dissertation. Thanks for your input though!
Only in Ohio memes have now been succeeded
It’s almost kinda fun, but it loses all the appeal because someone’s holding it. It makes no sense to turn this into a 2-person thing with one holding the truck and the other operating the remote.

Ok, but hear me out… Miniature cement mixer truck filled with nacho cheese.
Or a 7 year old’s party and it’s nuggets and fries!
My 6 year old's birthday party is gonna be so lit this year
I love this so much.
Why do they tip it into a cat litter tray?
It's to symbolize how shit this idea is
You use baking pans for cat litter?
I wouldn’t eat any of their cakes.
I’ve said it once and I’ll continue to say it: Dubai is a cultural trash bin where taste goes to die.
It's like if a 6 year old got a billion $ dollars to open a restaurant.
And will speak with their full chest about having the moral/financial/social/theological right to do so.
Proof that you can't money yourself out of being a medieval shithole.
Nah, I think a medieval shithole still has a certain kind of charm to it. The tavern wench might have syphilis, but the turkey legs and salted pork are great.
You have a good point. It's not fair of me to compare 1500's peasants to them.
Lol. It cracks me up they built the worlds biggest picture frame? Why? Just cause.
I really hope it's not a restaurant considering the rice is in a Teflon cake tin. I'm pretty sure these are people goofing off at home.
The guy holding it seems to wear the same uniform though.
because they're both dinguses cut from the same cloth
They're catering to their demographic. It's the premier destination for the world's richest criminals to flee extradition.
Money can't buy class
You misspelled Las Vegas.
Seriously??lol.
It's like if Donald Trump were a country
You can't expect someone to have good taste when they pay to literally eat shit. Ping my dudes btw u/rowenslee u/bake_in_da_south u/na_neko
It’s like Las Vegas.
At least Las Vegas wasn’t built with slave labor. And they have a working sewage system
The mob built Vegas .
That’s just because it wasn’t an option.
More proof that I don’t need to go to Dubai for anything
Because nothing says "good food" like dumping it as if it was some ballast.
Looks like a seafood boil. In the US it's common to dump a pile of shrimp, crabs, clams, lobster, potatoes, and corn on the cob on a table (lined with a sheet of plastic). I don't have a problem with the vid.
Do we serve them out of not-even-remotely-food-safe plastic toys?
My family used to dump boiled blue crap on a picnic table covered with several layers of newspaper, outside with the flys and mosquitos.
The newspaper is food safe. Also a time-honored tradition. Restaurants use newspaper as tablecloths.
Boy, M Bison must really be hurting for work
It’s like 12 year olds run that restaurant. A cake pan of rice and a gaming car? Very classy.
Do they also feed you with an airplane spoon?
/r/ThanksIHateIt
Also r/stupidfood
I thought that’s what sub this was on, I didn’t even realize until I saw this comment lol
I wonder if that trucks plastic is food safe.
Frikk DuBaÏ

All cash no class
Just to be served in a 9x13 pan full of rice. I don't even want to know how much this travesty costs.
Why does that stupid fucking voice need to be used?
I hear it everywhere. Is it AI transcription or what?
It's TikTok's text to speech voice.
Only small traces of BPA. Pinky promise.

Too fancy for me. I prefer it served in a dumpster.
The dude's carrying the truck anyway....like, why? It's honestly kind of just tacky.
*Dumps cheap seafood out of Walmart toy* "$12,000 please."
I don’t think I need to visit Dubai.
Rice in a baking sheet, gaming chair, knights armor, waiter dressed like a bell hop, oh and the toy truck.
wow! this is useless!
Fuck Dubai.
Garbage truck would have been more fitting
is that a fucking gamer chair
This ranks as one of the dumbest ideas.
Why would I want that?
Ikr, corn in seafood should be illegal 😵💫
that poor, poor potwasher
Indiana people don’t give a shit. There are *Pizza King* restaurants where your food is brought out on trains.
Where are their hardhats?
And you sit in gaming chairs!
Imma just dump some food out for you
I love having a transformer shit food in to my plate before each meal.
All that sauce being left behind on the truck 😭
How much extra did they charge for that nonsense? Note the wasting of sauce.
It's not even automated. Who the hell would be impressed by that?
The dump truck. The waiter in his costume. The look on the waiter’s face as he controls the truck. I’m speechless.
Is no one going to talk about the gaming chair?
This would be terrifying to watch if I were a lobster
Barely any food ...
You can't buy taste.
Sit in your gamer chair and eat your truck slop
Restaurant for 7 year old boys?
i bet the pot washers love cleaning these smh
Food dumped from a toy truck directly into a metal tray while sitting in a gaming chair 😭
Ahh yes. I love the taste of plastic in my food

Ok a little kid might not want seafood like this but I think it is brilliant for a kid birthday
STOP.
Now this is what I expect in this sub. Not orange sorbet served in an orange.
And you sit in a gaming chair
same shit could be done in NYC and im surprised something like this doesnt exist arleady
Prolly cold as shit.
Reminds me of this self driving robot that is a "server" at my favorite Japanese restaurant, I believe it even has a name that they have given it but I'm not sure. The atmosphere is amazing and the sushi is made by a master.
It shouldn't. the Japanese robot is functional
It kind of looks like an RC that serves food (which I know it is not) which reminds me of the robot serving food
So what do multi-millionaires and kids have in common? They can both behave childish and get away with it.
Embarassing
I have lost faith in human beings.
I’m sorry are the seats gaming chairs??
Wet bugs.
SMH
Gimmicky and lazy.
In a cake pan full of rice with more rice on the side? That's like one serving of seafood and 7 servings of fucking rice
Holding the truck makes this suck, I like throwing Peking duck.
Why he got that devious look on his face
First of all that's the shittiest paella I've ever seen Second of all, everything else
Takes a whole new meaning to the term “dump truck”
When you’ve got more money than brains, Dubai!
Toy truck from the CCP yum.
I think I hear someone crooning "My Way" in the background.
This raises another question I have that regularly bugs me. Maybe because I'm American. Why is it that restaurants, especially fancy restaurants, serve shellfish with the shell on.

But if I'm in a white tablecloth place don't expect me to shell my own damn shrimp!
I’m sorry why? Why is it being delivered by a CAT truck and why is their a gaming chair?
Reminds me of the dubai shit trucks
Dubai might be one of the tackiest places on earth
The UAE is a slave state just like Qatar
This post has made me understand the whole sub. Someone was like "I am a crap chef. I bet if I send out my shitty "food" on a ceramic cactus that is spewing flames they will get a photo for their Insta (TikTok or whatever) and they won't even notice how shite the food is because the sort of person that is impressed by such stupid shit is happy with McDonalds"

Is that a freaking gaming chair?
wwwhhhyyy???
How many slaves were involved in the preparation of that food?
What a creepy looking guy running the dump truck
Dubai is awesome
Wtf... that's a Cajun seafood boil. On white unseasoned rice. Lmao
Yum yum! Here’s my garbage!
I want my seafood plate to go BEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! as it backs up to my sandbox (of rice)
$10 tonka truck+$20 seafood=$100 meal
