Why It's A Red Flag If These Items Are On The Same Restaurant Menu

If a restaurant’s menu contains both burgers and sushi, that’s a big red flag. This is because these two types of food require a whole bunch of disparate elements.
For good burgers, you'll need the right blend of quality beef freshly ground in the restaurant, a grill, and a whole bunch of accouterments. It also requires attentive sourcing.
The same difficulties apply to sushi, but the ingredients you're sourcing are totally different, from quality fish that's safe to eat raw, to rice and nori.
Top-notch sushi chefs have very particular training, and a chef who's good with burgers is not as likely to wield those skills. Straddling these two specialties is difficult.
Long, unfocused menus are often cited as a red flag. If a restaurant mixes together an assortment of dishes from different cultures, none of the dishes are likely to wow you.
