>Cooking food doesn’t use too much water in most cases

Have you ever cooked anything in your life? Cooking requires a lot of water. Even at the home level- adding in restaurant level prepping and it's fucked.

There’s many ways to mitigate water usage while cooking food. Frying, baking, grilling, sautéing, use little water.

Once again, I’m acknowledging the cleaning process of kitchen utensils and dishes is often where most of the water is used and a restaurants will not be able to go long with out it.

However for many dishes, not a huge amount of water is used.

If restaurants wanted to stay open, I’m sure they could take off items that use a lot of water to make…

I’m convinced most of r/philly would die in an actual emergency even if there was a simple solution available

I’m just saying there’s plenty of ways to make food without using a lot of water in the process. If you cook food, you’ll know there are hundreds of different ways to prepare every meal without water.

Look at all the food trucks and street vendors in the city. They all do it everyday without a line attached.

I’m not even disagreeing with people, yes, restaurants will be stained if the water is contaminated, I’m just literally saying dishes can be cooked with little water needed and certain restaurants can stay open, depending on what they are making.
