Fast delivery: local news and news from McDo and Tim

Our new edition of fast delivery brings you to the metropolis of Quebec but also to California and India! A rather fragmented menu that will make you see all the colors as the Italian restaurant Piatti unveils a new decor, the Bloom restaurant announces a new branch, a lawsuit could cost McDonald's 10 billion and Tim Hortons takes a step back. expansion in New Delhi.
First, you will surely agree that the decor of a restaurant can influence our appreciation of an evening and a meal. Don't we often say that we eat with our eyes? The Italian restaurant Piatti understood this well by hiring a firm of architects who had the mandate to transform its dining room. All the elements have been reviewed from A to Z and the materials used such as marble, travertine and oak give the new decor a unique and warm character.
So, if you go through Rosemère, you must stop for a meal at Piatti to discover, among other things, the huge chandelier, a three-tone marble carpet, the red velvet stools of the bar, which is surrounded by stones!
Let's stay in the city since we are pleased to learn that the Bloom restaurant, specializing in vegan sushi and after a happy start with the Old Port branch, has chosen to open a second address, this time in the Quartier. shows. Again, the decor has not been left to chance and invites people to explore the menu, which has some differences from its sister branch. Moreover, some choices of botanical sushi are clearly out of the ordinary and their presentation is sublime.
Now let's move on to our neighbors to the south, more specifically to the state of California, which is to consider a 10 billion dollar lawsuit against McDonalds launched by the head of a media group stipulating that the chain does not spend enough in ads on black-owned media.
Byron Allen, an African-American who runs two media companies, says McDonald's has two advertising budgets: on the one hand, spending on white-owned channels, and on the other, a budget, significantly less than the first, for media targeting the African-American community. Of the $1.6 billion spent on advertising in the United States, less than 1% of that amount is directed to media companies with African American owners.
Finally, our Canadian restaurant Tim Hortons continued its Indian momentum by opening a third branch in a few months in New Delhi. Of course, the coffees served there are the same as those that make their reputation here, but other items on the menu are totally different. For example, you can order milkshakes in different flavors, avocado roasts, flatbreads, pancakes, quiches, sliders and even pasta.
