i feel like there's usually a subtext, in the "this restaurant is in a building that definitely used to be a pizza hut" observation, that the restaurant is probably mids, or at least one could easily overlook it as a genuine option while chuckling at the Distinctive Structure. for what it's worth however: there's an italian place around here in a building that i literally used to order pizza hut from before they closed. while the internal vibes of the place are comically off (the low ceilings of 90s-pizza-hut architecture do not fit with what one expects from a dimly-lit-except-for-candles-on-the-tables italian place) the food is fucking magnificent
The stranger a building is that a restaurant is in, the better the food, that's the law. Annapurna is in a fucking basement and is cramped and weird and the decoration can't hide the fact that it's a decaying basement in a commercial building in Seattle but it's absolutely incredible
