In-n-Out is another that does it to demonstrate that their kitchens are clean. And also to show that they’re slicing the potatoes there and there are no weird mystery ingredients.

A bar I used to spend much time in hired a chef to revamp the kitchen/menu. I’d always sit where I had a good view and watch the magic happen. I would totally patronize a place that, instead of dozens of tvs showing different games, had cameras in the kitchen that you could watch.

This may be related to dentists having open spaces for exams/treatment, so patients don’t get the idea that horrible agonies are being perpetrated behind closed doors.
