Are there orc restaurants?
What’s driving the orc economy?

Yes, in Mordor, but reservations are required because one does not simply walk in to Mordor.

Saruman did say “The old world will burn in the fires of industry.” It’s possible he was referring to strip malls and chain restaurants coming to middle earth.

The halfling stew and Uruk-Hai’s in Isengard has really good yelp reviews

The Uruk-hai always tryna keep the orc down man. It’s all a conspiracy to make cheap orc labor cheaper. Destruction of the family orc unit in service to more chopping of trees and running around in the daytime. Who the hell travels during the day anyway.

After creating Mordor Waldreg became rich in the orc restaurant industry. After his death Glugg took over the industry creating Mordorsopa in the downtown district of Mt. Doom.

Old topic.
It is, but it's arguably the low point of an otherwise amazing trilogy (my #1 trilogy of all time). It's just so overly stupid to try to "bro up" the orcs.

I read a thing the other day about Orcs and the idea that they are sentient being with thoughts and emotions and how that kind of crushes Tolkien’s whole world of good vs. evil.
In fact what I read claims Tolkien spent much of his life trying to find a way to explain why it’s okay that his good characters indiscriminately killed orcs when at the end of the day they were just following orders. What makes an Orc truly evil other than the fact that the people controlling them are evil? What’s to stop the “good guys” from gaining control of a group of Orcs and all of a sudden they’re not evil. At the end of the day they’re just pawns in a game following orders.

Orcs are evil
They’re evil when they serve their evil master, the question is are they inherently evil or are they corrupted by evil?
If a good person got a hold of a bunch of Orcs good they be used for good and not evil?
Here is an AI answer that gets to my point pretty well
quote:
Yes, orcs in The Lord of the Rings are fundamentally evil and serve the Dark Lords, but Tolkien wrestled with whether they were inherently evil from creation or corrupted beings, suggesting they were twisted elves or men, making their evil a product of their origins and servitude, though they exhibit traits like cruelty, malice, and a desire for destruction, acting as agents of darkness and profanity, but some instances hint at their base motivations being fear and desire for freedom from Sauron, rather than pure love for evil itself.

Orcs were bred to be soldiers. They served the Dark Lord, but when we get to see their perspective - the orcs Sam fools in the tower and the those that capture Merry and Pippen - we see that they serve more out of fear than allegiance to his evil philosophy.
Tolkien never writes of any good orcs, though there were evil men, dwarves, and elves. I don't even think orcs could survive Sauron's defeat. I belive they died out soon afterward.

I thought I read somewhere before that the orc race came about when some elves were corrupted by evil. Hence the pointy ears like elves
