"The burn-out rate is very high... if you're a woman, you usually quit to have babies. You can't bring your freakin' kids to the restaurant.

Maybe some diner told her about a douinaka restaurant they went to in Japan, where the obasan did this.

But if any country did this, you'd think it would be Oz ...
