There is a restaurant in Santa Barbara that does this exact thing! It is called The Boathouse and it is right on the water, it is stunning! But there are dumpsters that sit right outside of the restaurant that smell like... well... shit haha
The best smell in the world is some warm trash seafood! Yummm!
They too haven't resorted to burning it quite yet but we will see. It is a shame that the most beautiful location in Santa Barbara smells like shit as you walk to the beach... But I guess it is a small price to pay for a gorgeous stretch of beach :)
