- A video John F. Kennedy's grandson posted on Instagram is going viral.
- Jack Schlossberg argues against eating in restaurants in the tongue-in-cheek video.
- "We only have a couple of choices. And we don't know what any of them will taste like or what's good," he says.
A video showing John F. Kennedy's grandson ranting about the evils of dining out is going viral.
In the light-hearted video, which was recently posted to Instagram stories, Jack Schlossberg, the 30-year-old son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, can be seen in a windbreaker with beach dunes in the background as he explains why eating dinner in restaurants is completely ludicrous.
The video, which also includes the cameraperson audibly giggling in the background, was posted on July 4, so it's possible he was spending time at the Kennedys' Hyannis Port compound.
Some of Schlossberg's biggest complaints about dining out included the nutritional value of restaurant food and the amount of time spent in a restaurant
"We have to wait there to eat something that we don't get to choose, really, what it is," Schlossberg says to the camera. "We only get a few choices and you don't know what any of them are gonna taste like or what's good … and we're gonna sit there and wait for some guy to ask us a question. And we're gonna have to talk to some guy about what we wanna eat."
"You spend hours and hours eating in restaurants when you could spend a minute and a half eating something good for you," he said.

"You have to read to get your food? Why?" Schlossberg asks. "You don't actually need to do that and that's why I'm never ever going to a restaurant again."
While the video appeared to be light-hearted, some viewers took issue with it, saying that it seemed privileged and tone-deaf.
"This guy is a 30-year-old, Yale- and Harvard-educated lawyer. I think this rant tells us all we need to know about the sorry state of legacy admission, nepo-baby America," one Twitter user commented.
"He was kicked out of a restaurant you can just tell," another chimed in.
Still, others appeared charmed by the video and Schlossberg's connection to the Kennedy family, with some commenting on his "enviable hair" and "strong genes."
"Contender for favourite video of 2023. Unhinged and really quite riveting," wrote one Twitter user.
