I'd be more inclined to recommend places with questionable food hygiene, especially if it's delivery and the actual kitchen is a someone's basement. They get ill and hopefully the place is forced to change after a health inspection

Or somewhere decent but super expensive that they might rock up at before realizing that they're going to have to shell out $300+ for a meal for two when they expected $120

Or somewhere that's still demanding you wear masks and show vax cards so either some of their party (or their date) can't go and the night is spoiled, or they have to spend 2 hours faffing around with pieces of cloth
