Food-O-Rama: Restaurant Where Every Meal Is A Surprise
by Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Last year I discovered an international café where you receive whatever meal the person before 
Food-O-Rama Mystery Mealsyou ordered, so the food and drink you receive is always a surprise. For those risk-taking diners, there's a sit down restaurant that's comparable, and it sounds like things might get a little crazy!
A Chinese Restaurant called Food-O-Rama has diners order based on how hungry they are or how drunk they'd like to get. Meal options are small, medium or large, and the menu offers alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. From there, it's a big surprise what's going to show up at your table.
Naturally, this isn't a dining experience for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions. And it's an even bigger mystery, because despite reviews that indicate Food-O-Rama is American, I can't figure out where the darn restaurant is located. So once we solve that mystery you can move onto the mystery meal. The point is, it's an interesting concept for brave diners!

"The Halfbakery is a communal database of original, fictitious inventions, edited by its users. It was created by people who like to speculate, both as a form of satire and as a form of creative expression."
Reviews? From the Halfbakery? Was this just an attempt to get people to visit their site?
I thought Inventorspot was supposed to be stories ABOUT inventions, not stories that ARE inventions.
I like your disclaimer at the end about it being an interesting concept (which, I agree) but the "meat" of the article that makes it sound as if it's a reality...not so much.

Thanks for your comment. In some cases HalfBakery does play off existing concepts, and this has been an emerging dining trend.
My blog is on innvoative business ideas and existing or not, this fits the bill as it is a fun business concept. My goal is to shed light on interesting new businesses and also give some food for thought about concepts. InventorSpot does also feature prototypes and patent-pending inventions, so beyond my blog not everything you see here is something you'll find on the market right now.
Thanks for reading!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
So the first order of the day sets the menu? ie:
First customer has pie
2: pie
3: pie
etc. etc.

Not in this case - in this
Not in this case - in this case customers just choose their portion size and every meal is surprise.
With the Japanese Cafe I mentioned above http://inventorspot.com/articles/japanese_ogori_cafe_would_you_dine_wher... you get whatever the person before you ordered, but not what the first person of the day ordered.
Not sure if the very first customer gets what they ask for, but say the first person orders a black coffee and a muffin, regardless of what the 2nd person says the way, they'll receive the coffee and muffin, and then the next patron will get what they requested and so on!
