I've always wanted to see a true Russian fast food chain (Teremok is the closest). But a fundamental problem is traditional Russian foods are always slow cooked, because of climate. The Russian oven was always on to heat the house, and people would cook things very slowly to draw out complex flavors. That is not easy to recreate over a griddle or industrial oven Ironically Chinese food is opposite to Russian, cooked in a flash over very high heat happens to be perfectly suited for quick industrial food production and selling

@bokunogentoo4420 This is what happens when your country is run by oligarchs instead of the money being distributed among, at the very least, a few marketing executives

@sluggo206 True in every other country, too. The mass made food is usually worse. The issue though is that most dishes (not borrowed from the Caucasus, where climate favors frying foods) are slow-cooked. Russian food simply doesn't mesh well with the needs of industrial capacity- not impossible, but it would take time. Ironically, now might be best. With the competition for food willingly leaving, if Putin finally allows domestic industry to flourish without charging the owner with "corruption" and seizing it for a oligarch friend (this was done in 2014 Moscow with the cheesemaking industry, allowed to grow) ---maybe we could see many new Russkie Bistro.

That's just needlessly ruthless, like trying to bring a country back t the Stone Ages. Also, the Russians left behind will not forget that-- all you are doing is extending the grudge and convincing Russia that the West can never be trusted to genuinely help Russians.

@bcluett1697 guess so, bbq is also slow cooking and thats been turned into fast food. I want to see it happen, but lots of people (given the situation) are rooting for russia to straight-up collapse... no restaurants in that kind of country
