    Those are mobile restaurants run by kitsune who cross dimensions to serve a variety of clientele. You just happened to have stumbled inside on the night before they left to another realm. Consider thyself lucky, mortal, for their food is god-tier

    Dude was eating out of a restaurant dumpster in a back alley somewhere next to the cooks that were enjoying their cigarette break.

    “oh man I don’t wanna call the cops on this white boy… Honey he says he wants the menu. I dunno. Make him some noodles and some chicken. He doesn’t know I’m speaking English and not Cantonese, that’s how zooted he is.”

    I’ve seen places like this. You only notice them late at night when all the lights are off elsewhere. Operated infrequently cuz it’s just a family joint and they got other stuff to do. But you chance upon them at the right time and oh man is it worth it.

    Being high also increases the pleasure from foods, in my experience. One time my wife made chocolate chip pancakes while we were high and they were legit the best thing I’d ever eaten, but looking back on a photo I took of them they look like they probably weren’t very great.

    “You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.
    The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror.
    These are just examples; it could also be something much better.
    Prepare to enter The Scary Door.”

    • Futurama

    And the original behind The Scary Door:

    “You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.
    A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
    That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!”

    Or:

    “There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.
    It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
    It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.”

    There’s one or two more intro texts.

      Help I’m steppin’ into the Twilight Zone!

      Place is a mad house, feels like being cloned.

      My beacon’s been moved under moon and star,

      Where am I to go now that I’ve gone too far?

    I have a place like this in my town. They know their food is bomb ass good and they still manage to be excited you’re there to eat even though the place is filthy

    It seems that the poster had broken into someone’s home and demanded dinner at 1am. Not so “whoa, dude” now, is it?
