Most of us have probably seen the “Terminator” movies. We knew the age of robots was coming – but who would have thought they would be so darn cute?
That’s the word Brandy Schaefer uses to describe the robot servers at the Honey Pig Korean BBQ restaurant in the Ashburn Farm Market Center.
“I think it was on our second or third visit when we first saw them,” Schaefer said. “They have little pig ears on top and a little pig tail behind them.”
Schaefer and her husband, Gary, who live in Ashburn’s Village of Waxpool neighborhood, love Honey Pig. They go several times a month, more if their kids are home from college, and order dishes like beef bulgogi, beef brisket, pork belly and marinated chicken.
“The robot delivers the raw meat from the kitchen directly to your table,” Schaefer said. “[Then] the employee removes the meat from the robot and puts it on the grill at your table. It’s a neat concept.”
Honey Pig is just one of several Ashburn area restaurants to add robot servers to their dining rooms.
