One of the great unanswered questions of the food world is:why does every restaurant website have to be such a goddamn shitshow?I’ve already complained about the ubiquity of inane, unnecessarymusic on restaurant websites, not to mention horrible flash intros and just all-around poor usability. Why is it that every single restaurant owner thinks a high-concept, interactive, 17-page site is better than the simple layout of menu/address/phone number/reservation system?
Finally someone has made it their mission to take down restaurant websites. The exceedingly cleverNever said about restaurant websites tumblelogis a database of complimentary things that people would never, ever, say about the inexplicably horrible world that is restaurant websites. A few gems:
“Who needs the phone number of a restaurant when you could be enjoying stock photos of food?”
“My favorite thing about this restaurant is actually its nearly abandoned Twitter feed with links to irrelevant news articles. I really appreciate that level of effort.”
-Zero people
“I enjoy clicking on separate menu links to view the Appetizers, Salads, Meat Entrees, Fish Entrees, Pastas, and Desserts.”
“It was like the restaurant was reading my goddamned mind when the website cleared up whether or not it was open for brunch on labor day last year.”
“Why would anyone want to skip this intro? I think I’ll watch it again.”
Agh! The funny thing is that these kinds of websites are not the exception but the rule. Seriously, WHAT IS THE DEAL, PEOPLE?!
