For more context, it was an all black alliance, specifically created because they were black, for the sole purpose of making sure a black person won. They called themselves “the cookout,” because apparently all black people do is BBQ outside. It wasn’t just an alliance that happened to be black, they openly formed it because of race, and purposefully targeted whites.
For even more context, two years ago the winner of the show, a white man, was openly accused of being a racist on live television by the show host Julie Chen, all because he nominated a couple “people of color” in the first episode.
I always imagined that his 'restaurant' is essentially a hobby he happens to get requisitioned a shop, source the food himself from people whom run hobby farms and fisheries and the like in order to deliver as close an 'authentic' experience as possible and those people get first reservations followed by friends, locals and those interested. Novel, but even in that could earth really ever have the sheer logistics to allow billions of people to exist in such a fashion?
Let's be honest, DS9 makes trekkies nervous with it's introspection so any attempt to closely scrutinize absolutely any aspect of the universes workings outside of 'it just works, ok nerd!?' makes cracks start to form.
when I was younger I hated the introduction of the section 31 that went completely opposite of the theme of previous trek shows. now knowing what I know, deep space 9? more like deep state 9!

This is CBS, this is Biden’s America
I'm going for added irony with this one since this character had cooking as a plot centric skillset at times.

it's supposed to be a perfect post scarcity society where energy = matter, so anything they want they can just materialize.

they certainly invented cooking with transformer fluid.
