Don't wanna excuse car-centric development, but i'd guess that they want the food to be fresh and they don't wanna film inside the restaurant, and car provide them some soundproofing from outside.
Take the takeout home?
Too far away in the US
Even outside of the US, it's gonna be significantly less good if you don't eat it there. I live 4 minutes away from where I buy my hotdogs, if I eat it at the store, it's great, go home first? 4 minutes that's now a cold dog and it's shit.
I always go home and eat it there. I think you'd have to be a psychopath to go out of your way to go to a takeaway, sit down in the middle of said takeaway and just chomp into whatever and find that enjoyable as the crowds look on in pure terror, wondering what society has come to and if there was anything that could be done differently, mothers looking on in disapproval, clutching their phones and men getting clutching their fists, readying for a potential confrontation, as they watch your teeth rip animal flesh and bread, mixing the two into a fine mix before disappearing it down your throat.
It sure isn't the same as outright terror, but it is a threat, and people will see it as such.
You could just get better hot dogs, in fact - most hot dogs do not turn into "cold dogs" or become soggy or otherwise unpleasant in 4 minutes, honestly not even in an hour, those things are packed to be delivered in foil, in fact in some places like Five Guys, the food actively continues to cook inside the foil packaging, making it actually better after it's been inside the packaging for some time.
People around you do know this, they know you are making a choice.
For the sake of yourself and others, please choose differently.
Have you ever had a hot dog on a bun with condiments, or are you just raw dogging it?
Have you? I've never once actually had cold takeaway if it was packed properly and hasn't been left out for like a day. It's literally a solved problem.
Yes, it was a cold and soggy mess, because I buy hotdogs from places where they are served fresh in a bun with condiments.
So? I buy them from places where they are served fresh in a bun with condiments. Like five guys hotdogs suck but they meet the definition and that shit never goes cold because of the foil it's in that keeps the heat in.
Enjoy your soggy bun then I guess.
It does not turn soggy, I don't know what your problem is, maybe stop pouring water on it???
Ok, you're both psychos.
4 minutes isn't going to turn a normal hot dog into something cold. It's going to take at least a minute or two just to be cool enough not to burn your mouth if it just came off a grill, frying pan or out of boiling water.
But, if you're eating a hotdog that has been sitting around for an hour and it's still warm, it most likely contains unacceptably high levels of plutonium.
Mmm, grade-c plutonium, suitable for human consumption.
Yeah the only place I eat that wraps in foil is zambreros, keeps it good for about 10-15 minutes.
I live 20 minutes away.
If I'm buying fast food, it's going to be eaten immediately because they all turn to shit quickly.
I also live in a country that eating at a fast food store is normal, it's why they have tables and chairs.
I don't have a five guys here, but I've seen American fast food and honestly I don't think I'm missing out on anything at all.
I'm not American nor am in America nor is Five Guys fast food per se either and it has tables and chairs obviously, but that doesn't mean the average person sits down at the restaurant instead of going home aside from groups of high schoolers, families and tired co-workers grabbing lunch/dinner.
I don't know what country you live in where the foil isn't standard across non-sitdown restaurants either or what zamberros is.
And that's why this post is on here.
Unless we're talking about fast food, hot food continues to cook after serving, the longer it takes for you to start eating it the food is gonna be different than when it's just served. Which is why they all eat inside their car, because taking it home will mean letting the food sit for 10/15/20 minutes. Also they might not be reviewing said food in their neighborhood, they could be driven 20km or 30km away for it, food reviewer tend to go places further than their area.
I'm sure their professional home film studio would work but the kids running around and such just brings the whole vibe of the video down.
