We've known about the basement in Buck's since the beginning. Flairing is old news.
Might we now safely infer that Comet has a basement, too?!!!
No. Why would we? Comet uses the basement at Buck's for their storage.

Are you saying is impossible that Comet has a basement??
ALEFANTIS: Well, we make everything from scratch. Other restaurants, even good restaurants, will, like, not roast their own peppers. You can just buy the roasted peppers in a can. Or you can buy garlic oil. Some products you can get, and they’re consistent and they’re easy. But I didn’t even know that existed actually until they said that. I was like, “What do you mean? There’s another way? You can just buy these things?” Because a lot of restaurants will open a can and put it on. Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.

People I have spoken to did not know, information moves so fast in this day and age, things get pushed off for another thing. It's motion contained in a coded environment, you can't expect people to be aware of everything at once.
