Yeah, reviewing in the restaurant would be rude and reviewing at home would get cold.

My thoughts exactly. The privacy aspect of not capturing other people in the video, not being bothered by other people, not taking up a table for too long, etc.

Not going to lie, I'm definitely not a fan of car-dependent infrastructure, but in this world we currently have, the car does provide a convenient enclosure for this purpose

getting in the car and doing anything is also the only time a lot of people can get time to and for themselves.

This. We have a culture that doesn't allow for much in the way of personal time.

Yeah exactly this. Can't give an accurate food review if you can't eat it immediately as presented. And if one-sided phone calls in restaurants weren't bad enough presenting loudly to a camera would likely get you walked out.

I was at an airport waiting at the gate and this guy was trying to film a snippet for some "outrage" thing. The funniest part is he would do his little "yelling speech" listen to it and rerecord it. It must have been around 8 takes until he got it. Everyone else was just glancing at each other and trying not to laugh.

How hard was it to resist the urge to keep 'innocently' ruining his takes?

But then again. If I'm buying take-away from a restaurant, I'd prefer the review to be as close to my experience as possible. So I'd rather they had to drive 10-15 minutes and review a slightly colder product.
