"Changing how we think about noise in restaurants isn’t the kind of cultural shift that happens overnight. [But] many chefs and restaurant owners are becoming more aware of the obstacles that might stand between diners and a great meal": bonappetit.com/story/restaur… #keeplistening

I explored the psychology behind Bay Area restaurants' loud, unhinged Spotify playlists – and discovered that businesses use a wide variety of hostile methods to wring more money out of consumers. sfgate.com/food/article/bay-…

Bay Area restaurants are all secretly telling us to 'get the hell out'

San Francisco and Oakland restaurants intentionally create a hostile atmosphere.
