Brainstorming:

"Rachalante" is the name of a restaurant that possesses a infohazard, causing anyone that associates the establishment to their concept of a restaurant to be unable to comprehend other resturants as such. Effectively, for the affected personnel, no other resaurants exist. At least, that was the intent of the owner. However, due to a oversight in creation, the infohazard extends to all sources of food.

+ Development

The first iteration of the article marks it as a Safe/Euclid SCP that affects people that have eaten there, preventing them from eating anything else afterwards. The effect is misattributed to the food, and the restaurant was implied to be shut down after the article was written.

The Foundation, of course, realised that the food was not the vector when their agents were becoming unable to eat without coercion or force. The perpetrator turned themself in when they realised the magnitude of the error that was present in the infohazard. They did not consider themselves evil, just to be engaging in malicious business practices, and the possibility for others to die from malnutrition urged them to turn to the Foundation.

After negotiations were made, the owner of the restaurant agreed to share a method to innoculate subjects against the effects of the concept altering. This required previous exposure to the "Rachalante", so the SCP file recycled the first iteration to be used as a step in the innoculation process for personnel assigned to the object.

The innoculation was not effective if the subject had already strongly associated the "Rachalante" to their concept of a restaurant. These people include former staff of the resturaunt, several city officials who approved the establishment, and members of the previous team assigned to the SCP.

Unknown to anyone, the infohazard can mutate and create parellel constructs that are identified by a major change in spelling of the word that conveys the concept. Enough that the word it was meant to resemble only is known if the origninal is juxtaposed or the meaning is inferred. AKA "Rachalante" and Resturaunt, or "Camtenant" and Containment. The effect these new constructs have mirror the original one.

The point of this piece would be to subvert the idea that each SCP is effectively understood and contained when documented extensively.
