The Larch

I hate those chairs in that picture.

And what about the zillion available waiters? If they're zooming up and down the aisles it'll be a huge jam sooner or later.

I'm sure the service will be surly.

It's self service, with some stuff brought to your table, so I guess it's just for show. :P

Normally it looks more like this (when it's busy):

Those aren't chairs--they're stools.  And stools don't belong at a table, they belong at a bar or counter.

Here in Portland, the trends are artisanal this and organic that, food carts, dive bars that serve ridiculously good food, upscale bars that offer really overblown, overrated food, Asian fusion stuff, farm-to-table stuff, etc.

Quite honestly Portland's a bit of a food Mecca.

Vienna has recently seen an influx from the Vapiano chain:

I was in Taiwan recently and some of my local colleagues wanted to go out for dinner. They told me about this cool, hip place with a great view on Taipei 101 and I looked forward to it. Then they told me that it was Pizza and Pasta and I figured that I would have preferred something Taiwanese. And when we arrived I found out that it was a silly Vapiano.  :yucky: Halfway around the world, when I can have that here at home...
