I recently went to a restaurant and looked at my bill; I'm being told that I must subsidize the wages of the kitchen staff with a 3% tax on the total bill. Then the restaurant charges a meals tax on top of this kitchen tip which is probably not authorized under state law. Interestingly enough, the kitchen staff gets 3% for things they didn't do like pour beverages.

To me, this is nothing but virtue signaling. This pisses me off. They could simply raise the menu prices 3% and then pay their staff more.

I rarely eat out. I cook all my own food, except sushi. I can’t make sushi. Shit, I even age my own beef.

Sushi is a lot of fun to make. Once you nail good sushi rice and get a line on sushi grade fish the rest is knifework and art. I always end up making too much ( cover a 24” platter) and just invite friends over.
