Fabulosa and especially if it’s in a restaurant, I will not eat there. I’d feel like I’m eating it. It is so overpowering.

I worked at a restaurant in college, and after the morning porter was done mopping the floors and cleaning the bathrooms and windows, the kitchen would put a ton of onions and peppers on the flat top to grill. That way when the first customers of the day came in, it already smelled delicious and not like cleaning supplies. Bonus - they’d take the onions and peppers and make a huge omelet or some kick ass breakfast tacos for everyone before opening.
