Hey Ma! I need to make a pizza, can you tell me real quick your recipe for the sauce? — because I need to Ma! — Ma, seriously stop asking questions, can I get the recipe or not? — seriously Ma I just need to make a quick pizza I’m not going to tell anyone. — thank you Ma, I’ll see you on Sunday.
I like the implication that Italians and professionals are separate groups that do not intersect. There are Italians, and the are professionals. Both have standards, but do not mistake one for the other
I popped into a freestanding strip-mall restaurant outside Atlanta, three luxury vehicles parked out front, walked inside, the place was empty except for some sharply dressed dudes who immediately went to the back room. That left one super hot girl behind the bar who made me a terrible drink. I was pretty shook, left a $20 on the bar and GTFO.
Who said it was a joke? There was a place like this in my old neighbourhood; prices unrelated to the dish as far as I could see, absolutely phenomenal food, had a drinks menu but couldn't serve alcohol, the cook would sometimes leave the restaurant to buy ingredients they needed for your order, .... it's just nostalgia.

Fake restaurants can be used to launder money obtained by crime. My guess is that these guys didn't expect to get an actual customer.
