whoa, they own Chai Pani and Fred's Meat and Bread, both of which are _excellent_ fast casual spots in Atlanta. It's just... it's like $28 for a Philly cheesesteak, so I've only been to each twice. edit: ok it's $16 each apparently, but still

But also, they own physical chains, real estate ("food halls" aka bougie food courts) and now... meal delivery? It sounds like the most expensive-to-operate things all squashed into one.

edit: and they own Blue Apron?! I feel like they're going to buy Candy Crush next

It's really hard to see how this is going to work out long-term.

I don’t think they necessarily own the restaurants. They license the menu and cook/sell from a ghost kitchen.
Acquisition of Farming Simulator incoming...
Meat and Bread is in Seattle and Vancouver too, and yes, it’s fantastic lunch.
Looks like it's "Fred's Meat and Bread" which is different than the Meet & Bread chain in Vancouver, Calgary, and Austin.
Microsoft bought Candy Crush for $75 billion.
