 There is a new craze that's causing a boom in the food service industry, well kind of. It's foodless restaurants.
Guy Pierre, of Des Moines, Iowa founder of "Aucune Nourriture" or "No Food", is ecstatic. "For years food researchers have asked for smaller food portions in the restaurant industry. At Aucune Nourriture we do nothing by half measures! We go all the way for the consumer, and in this case we take away the food so the customers are not distracted by the service!"
Many may scoff at the 15 dollar foodless plates, and the 5 dollar water fee, but the foodless restaurant industry is fast becoming a huge business.
"Talk about low overhead, ha, it's more like no overhead!" Gushed Guy. "No food means no refrigerator systems, and that means a cheaper electric bill. With a 20 dollar charge we can afford some of the hottest entertainment acts in town!"
Cindy Martindale, 42, had this to say, "I have been going to the Aucune Nourriture for the last three weeks and have lost over 40 pounds! I have tried so many ways to lose weight and this is the first thing that actually worked! Also, I never have to wait for my food as there isn't any! I always hated that about other restaurants."
