Progressive Dining
Conflict Kitchen is a take-out restaurant that only serves cuisine from countries with which the United States is in conflict.
The food is served out of a take-out style storefront that rotates identities every six months to highlight another country. Each iteration of the project is augmented by events, performances, and discussions that seek to expand the engagement the public has with the culture, politics, and issues at stake within the focus country. These events have included live international Skype dinner parties between citizens of Pittsburgh and young professionals in Tehran, Iran; documentary filmmakers in Kabul, Afghanistan; and community radio activists in Caracas, Venezuela.
Do they serve severed heads on a stick?

Who decides what conflict is? Obviously, it’s the retards that run this lame excuse for a hash-house.
What part of this don’t they understand? Unless they’re referring to these people. Which I doubt.

I hear they prepare a rather satisfying imitation N. Korean tree bark gaspacho there.

I’m sure most of their items would not appease my appetite but around the world it’s usually the leaders that fight amongst each other, dragging us peons into the fray. Most of us plebes would be friendly to each other if not for the power hungry politicians. Islam is a different story.

And if the people who eat at Conflict Kitchen ever visited the countries featured they’d stay at a 5 star hotel and eat food imported from the United States.

If I walked by “Kitchen Conflict” I’d think the place had too many cooks spoiling the broth.

What makes this place popular amongst the smugglies is the fact that they can have dinner there, exchange some pleasantries with some poor bastards in a third world hole and then leave and pat themselves on the back for doing their bit to drag down their homeland. Oh, and it means they don’t have to do anything else that would interrupt their hollow lives.

I understand eating here helps improve reading skills. After all, what else are you going to do for the three hours you will be glued to your toilet?

I think the whole idea of “progressive” dining in this instance is actually REGRESSIVE dining. It would NOT be progressive to have to go back to eating various types of worms and animal offal that third world countries are forced to eat to stay alive (when they can afford food at all). People ordering food from this place would die if they actually had to eat the real stuff, or non-stuff, that 3rd world countries actually eat. From what I gather, they sometimes go for DAYS without having anything to eat.
If this place wanted to be truly authentic, they would have weeks where no food is available except grass and tree bark (i.e. North Korea). So you show up at their window and they say “sorry, no food, if you want to live the reality you’ll go hungry tonight.
