Those quotes provided by restaurant owners/chefs did not demonstrate favoritism toward cultured meat; rather, they tended to be more
skeptical. One restaurant owner, quoted in a Kansas City Star article
said, “If I served it, I'd be out of business in a week.” While a bar owner
quoted in the Agence France-Presse said, “One of the biggest things that
people enjoy as a comfort thing is food, and until people grow up with
the idea of artificial meat, it's going to be hard to convince people
otherwise.”
