MODERATORS
Actual reason: acoustics for media presentation. A car is a vocal booth.
Yeah, reviewing in the restaurant would be rude and reviewing at home would get cold.
Yeah exactly this. Can't give an accurate food review if you can't eat it immediately as presented. And if one-sided phone calls in restaurants weren't bad enough presenting loudly to a camera would likely get you walked out.
I was at an airport waiting at the gate and this guy was trying to film a snippet for some "outrage" thing. The funniest part is he would do his little "yelling speech" listen to it and rerecord it. It must have been around 8 takes until he got it. Everyone else was just glancing at each other and trying not to laugh.
How hard was it to resist the urge to keep 'innocently' ruining his takes?
But then again. If I'm buying take-away from a restaurant, I'd prefer the review to be as close to my experience as possible. So I'd rather they had to drive 10-15 minutes and review a slightly colder product.
