Rotating Food

Is Sushi the only good rotating food?

Par example, could a BBQ joint be rotating?  In a BBQ joint you could rotate sides definitely, but the protein would be: first, snagged by all the customers closest to the cooks; second most likely would dry out; and finally people would probably just knock the protein from the plate vs taking the plate to be counted.  Scummy Americans.

Chinese food; this doesn't work because Chinese food is best served hot and immediately.  Could you imagine some shrimp dumplings stuck on a conveyor belt.  Also, the old Chinese ladies would crowd the cooks and get all the good stuff.  Or worse my favorite a sweet and sour chicken getting all congealed yuck-o.

Filipino Food:  This could work because most restaurants are point point restaurants.  For whitey that is a restaurant where you point at the dishes you want.  Why it works because some dishes are better if they sit for a bit like well all of them.  Ork adobo that gets to be slow braised and sits just gets more tender and sucks upo more flavor.  Sinagang is the same which is obvious because it is soup.  For a filipino rotating restaurant you would want fresh rice on the table so maybe each table would come with a rice cooker.

Gourmet Burger Joint:  That wouldn't work at all because no one would want a bun that is soggy or gross and the sandwich would get cold.

Shell Fish Restaurant would work.  Could you imagine oysters, shrimp cocktails, or jumbo  lump crab rotating around the room.  Inter spliced with steamed seafood and soups and chowders.  Dear God I have come up with another million dollar idea.  You could also have corn on the cob, crab claws... man... imagine some old salts rotating in a bowl of ice around the room...with a nice mignoette... yum.

rotating is the futre accept it.
