>> well-loved restaurants could disappear at a moments notice because the owner/chef got tired of making the same type of cuisine and want to experiment with something new

So let's say you're such an owner. Just sell your business, and start something new.

But this could make things really interesting: What if you could order any meal you read about on the web, from anywhere ?

It's not possible for every dish, for the lack of local ingredients. But maybe it's possible for many dishes ?

A robotic ingredient picker could be really useful in that context. Make a large kitchen with a ton of ingredients. When an order comes up, a robot picker automatically brings the sauce ingredients to the saucier, the sautee ingredients to the sautee station, etc...
