If it follows the recent trend that means prices will increase and potions will be smaller. I really hope we start doing food halls better.

Maybe being owned by people who own restaurants is not the best answer.

I used to visit a food court in Oriental City, a shopping mall for the Oriental communities in North London. The food court had no chains, no brands, just 20+ family owned businesses all doing their thing, turning out their specialities at reasonable prices. They leased space from the mall owners and it was the best, busiest most diverse place I've ever eaten. Even the likes of Borough Market in London hasn't got the breadth this place had. Or the Richmond model, where a restaurant business owns the hall and fills it with their "not quite" concepts with little variation and no competition.

If you're in NYC check out the Flushing, Queens New World Mall

I didn't think Foo dog was very good. Don't understand the popularity.
