This really is a thing. There are quite a few establishments that have been taken over in my area that I just refuse to go to. As if I'm going to eat food prepared by the descendants of people who wiped their arse with their hand.Man, it's one thing when HJs and Maccas go down the shitter since they weren't that great to begin with, but Indians buying out actually good restaurants and fucking ruining them will never make me not mad as hell. Especially when they are so coy as to keep the front of house staff the same so you're left wondering if your taste buds have radically changed or was it just a bad night.
Maybe you go back a couple times, giving 2nd and 3rd chances, hoping you could get something even a close approximation of the quality of old. Then eventually you find out through a mutual acquintance, or maybe when they give up the pretense and replace front of house with Indians too, that it's yet another local establishment they've ruined.
This exact thing has happened to 3 restaurants I used to really enjoy going to. The only place left standing is the fish and chip shop run by some Asians that will probably sell it to Indians when their parents retire.
I always wonder where these Indians get the money to afford to purchase businesses outright, and I suspect these guys got it from running scams, government corruption or some other shady practice and now Australia is letting the worst of the worst in to take over legitimate businesses.
I posted in the India Menace thread a while back about a wobble-head I briefly worked for who had previously managed a pizza shop and skimped on ingredients by a small amount to make a few more units at the end of each week.
On the plus side, boycotting results in eating healthier and avoiding food poisoning. And your home cooked meals will taste even better if/when you see the Indian-owned establishment go belly-up.
