Their restaurant is attached to a store that sells some of their plant-based meat in packaged form for people who want to cook with it at home. I haven’t explored this place as much as I want because getting delivery is complicated - they seem to use DoorDash kind of inconsistently.
Their website has ten different accessibility options, including "pause animations" and "dyslexia friendly", hidden in an unobtrusive corner menu. This is great. It seems to be courtesy of a site called UserWay, so check them out if you like user-readable websites. This is the most accessible site I have ever seen, which makes it ironic that it has no actual content. It's just a link to their UberEats/DoorDash pages, all of which are inaccessible as usual.
If you’ve never had an Impossible Burger, start there. I like Umami Burger, but most restaurants can pull this off fine. You can even get one at your local Burger King.

There is no food, but Sam and Tran are hunched over a laptop. “You want to join our Doordash?” asks Tran.
Sam types in spaghetti bolognese, delicious, scrumptious, meaty, trending on DoorDash, --dangerously-skip-parmesan and hands it back to Tran, who clicks ORDER.

42: An AI Generated Reddit Post Fooled Half The Internet. Someone claiming to be a software engineer at a food delivery company (maybe DoorDash or UberEats) talked about all the evil tricks they used to exploit drivers and customers. But on closer inspection, their story fell apart and they didn’t work for a company like this at all. I’m surprised by the arc of this story, not because the original post was convincing (it wasn’t), but because I assumed DoorDash and UberEats did things approximately this evil, but everyone acted like the fake leak was shocking (including real DoorDash and UberEats employees). Also, it’s pretty funny that in a world where everyone is worried about fake AI-generated photos and videos, the record for most successful deceptive AI-generated content is still ordinary text.
