The question wasn't "how do dictionaries define restaurants" it was"do you consider fast food joints to be restaurants."
I answered honestly, and even provide a short but reasonable rationale behind my choice.
Dictionaries are still written by academics for 6th graders. There is no denying this. This makes them reactionary at best.

There is no denying that they are written for sixth graders? Well I won't bother then, though that sounds like a ridiculous assertion. But yeah point taken, it's supposed to be your opinion on what restaurants are.

In my opinion restaurants are places where you can get QUALITY food served to you at a table and good cold drinks in a glass.

To me it does not imply any minimum quality level of food. If they are not fast food restaurants though, how would you describe the type of business they are? Fast food... stores?

Or a fast food place, burger joint, or simply by the name of the business i.e. mcdonalds, arbys, etc. To me though they dont qualify as a restaurant due to their mechanistic nature and lack of love put into the food. I guess a good way in my mind to define a true restaurant is that a real chef works in it.

To me it's like saying that motels are not just a shittier variety of hotel, but not even hotels at all. Even though they share the same business model, you pay to stay in a room by the night.

How many peer reviewed papers open with Webster's Dictionary citations?
None.

Dictionaries are so lowly that they are not even books. It takes a higher quality bound volume of printed pages to qualify as a book. Like a signed copy of a Michael Crichton or Steven King novel. And it better be a hardcover.

I was kidding of course, Michael Crichton and Steven King novels don't qualify either. And John Grisham can get fucked too.
