The Shed at Dulwich was the number one rated restaurant in London, with foodies, celebrities and bloggers trying to get a table. The main obstacle for them, however, was that it didn't exist. Over the course of 8 months VICE's Oobah Butler used an assault of fake reviews to get his 'restaurant' to the hallowed top spot on TripAdvisor.
With his phone perpetually ringing, PR agencies begging to represent it and TV crews pitching shows, Oobah decided he had no choice but to open its doors for one night only. Here is Oobah's journey into a false reality that captured the world's attention.
00:00 Introduction
01:10 Creating the Fake Restaurant
04:20 Getting Verified on Tripadvisor
09:20 The #1 Restaurant in London
15:19 Prepping the Food

WATCH NEXT: An astronaut. A fireman. The president. Years ago, these are (probably) the answers kids gave when poised with the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” But 2022 is a different world, and according to a recent study, 54% of Gen Z teens dream about becoming influencers. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbp8h8xjnLrcgY0.html

The restaurant itself selling them food wouldn't have been fraud, so the danger isn't a lawsuit from the customers, but he couldn't issue a receipt, can't accept card payments, doesn't have a business/license, and other regulatory stuff in place. The lawsuits, charges and fines would come from the government and city.

Half of the appeal of restaurant is the ambiance. If it makes you feel some kind of way, you normally wouldn't in other restaurants, it makes the experience stand out and therefore woth your money and time. That's why in fancy restaurants you pay more money for less food since you pay for the experience

The experience he ended up creating, regardless of if it was fictitious to start with ended up being something that would be pretty enjoyable or at the very least notable, which is enough sometimes.

Real restaurants do that all the time. It's been shown that having a nice atmosphere that sounds social and full of people actually makes humans hungrier, willing to eat more and willing to stay for longer. And if there's loud music that's fast and upbeat, it makes humans eat way more than intended. This guy certainly did his research.

I live in town that has a huge forest next to it. There is a family with a house in the forest and on weekends they open it up as a café. You sit in their garden and they make all their food and drink themselves, but it is really good and they get great reviews. It seems so homely and raw and I think that that is the effect it had in the people who went to this restaurant.

Even if you were to only get a year's worth of business, with a buzz factor demand this huge he could have sold tasting menus for $200 a head, with 20 tables, 4 seats a table... That's $5.8m gross.. lol, and his lease for the "restaurant" was £800/month.

Honestly, I don't even see this as a hoax. He had a genius marketing idea that would've made a GREAT restaurant. I'd love to go to a restaurant with a concept like that. I feel like that was a major part of the success, and that the reviews just helped it get noticed. I think if he did the same thing with a basic run-of-the-mill restaurant, it wouldn't have been nearly as successful. Still a very fascinating social experiment. He should hire real chefs and open a real restaurant with that concept.
