## Resource

L.A. may have invented the drive-thru, but Vegas took it to new heights. Whether it's drive-thru weddings, drive-thru betting or drive-thru weed, we've made drive-thrus more than just a food experience. But do all these drive-thrus come at a cost? To dive into that, we're revisiting a conversation Dayvid Figler had with Sarah Lohman and Sonja Cho Swanson, where the three debate the pros and cons of drive-thrus and whether we'll ever truly outgrow them.
