The Menu: The History of the Restaurant & Eating Out



In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will look at the history of the restaurant from the ancient times of China and Greece, to how the Thermopolium of Rome used to operate, through the Middle Ages of British taverns, and to how the USA began to develop new ways of serving food, such as “Fast Food” style, “Diners” style, and “Drive In” style. Along the way, he will discuss how the word, “Restaurant,” came to be, how there are now over 500,000 of these “Fast Food” restaurants across the world, and the effect of Covid on how people ate.

  1. I went to “Bonanaza Coffee Roasters” in Berlin and went for a walk with Angela Merkle. The hell she cut right in line. I said okay, big dog, go ahead. She ordered a special drink fit for a queen, safely threw away some money, and then took the lid off the cup. As she did this she spilled hot coffee everywhere, splashed some on me which made me jump and I came across another lady who had hot coffee which in turn caused her to spill it all over a disabled man in a wheeled chair who letting it run over my foot, causing me to scream and scare a small child, causing her to start crying. God, what a mess was made that day. Finally, an employee came out from the back with a mop and started cleaning up the mess. Then another lady came out and applied some ointment to our burns. Then Merkle's limo driver got her lame ass into the car and sped away like a bat from hell. The lesson for Merkle should be to never take a lid off a hot cup of coffee, stupid! I won't be returning to this cafe for a long time and hope to never see Angela Merkle again!
