    Restaurants with outdoor seating

    I never understood why some restaurants only have outdoor seating. Its so unsanitary that health codes should forbid it. Why would anyone want to eat outside? You get bugs and flies landing in your food. When cars drive by you get dirt and dust flying at you which gets in your food. Usually its too hot or too cold outside and when its too cold your food gets cold fast. When its too hot you sweat and sweat drips in your food. If its breezy your napkins blow away. I see no positive to eating outside.

    I prefer eating outdoors if that option is available in restaurants.

    This is the most inane complaint I've ever heard. The very definition of First World Problems.

    Why do they have it Orlong?

    Because people want it.

    There are FDA approved amounts of rat shit that your food is allowed to contain.

    I'm sure a bit of dirt isn't going to hurt you.

    I would recommend not going to those restaurants if this gets you so worked up.

    Why am I back here, I don't even play these games anymore

    The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

    Do you live in a sand filled wind tunnel? Seriously though, if you don't like eating outside than either don't or avoid restaurants where that's the only option.

    One of my favorite memories was in Boston and eating outside by the water. Sure flies might get into the food but you can also have flies indoors too as often times windows and doors get opened especially in the kitchen area which might get really hot.

    Eating outside in sunny weather is awesome.

    I love having picnics in the summer. I love eating outside in general. It feels so much more relaxed and "free". Drinking outside as well, with a good group of mates, also cannot be beaten.

    maybe if the restaurant has its outside seating next to a motorway!

    90% are in pedestrian streets and rather clean.

    Pretty sure once the food is cooked and on the customer's plate, it's not the restaurant's job to make sure nothing happens to it.

    I used to live in Florida. One of my favorite places in Ft Lauderdale is this little dive of a seafood restaurant that serves great food, and you can sit right out on the water. Really, any place in South Florida that you can eat outside, you should. Unless it's like June to September, then it's too ungodly hot and humid to do shit.

    Lot's of office workers like to be able to enjoy the outdoors during lunch as I myself just ate lunch outdoors after being in my office for 5 hours.

    I ate at Chipotle outdoors yesterday.

    I loved every minute of it.

    You, must not be the outdoors type in that case. I love eating outdoors, because I love camping and cooking over a fire and eating outside.

    Eating outside is great. But back when I was waiting tables I once had a lady ask me if I could do something about the bugs outside. I really wanted to ask her if she thought I was god.

    I rather enjoy eating outside. But then I live in California. Mild to warm weather and no swarms of insects.

    When you see someone in a thread making the same canned responses over and over, click their name, click view forum posts, and see if they are a troll. Then don't feed them.
