I would like to open my own Brazilian restaurant

>>19667970
You thinking exclusive restaurant or a chain? Any specific dishes? My only frame of reference for Brazilian is bucci de bepo and that's just flavored meat on sticks.

>>19668003
Was literally being sarcastic but okay ew gross lol

>>19668006
Horrible take, Brazilian food is delicious.
Chicken heart is S+ tier.

>>19668006
Haha. Me too. Who would actually eat that? Can you imagine?

>>19667963
Either a restaurant centered around honey or one centered around mustard

My idea would be spending months going over my recipes, reducing them to a core of high-quality, preferably locally sourced (it's farming country with several meat packers nearby).

My guess would be starting with catering and delivery to get a feel and then expanding into a justifiably up-end indoor dining space/cafe. Menu would likely start with basic offerings based on German/East European staples (sausage n kraut, borscht, pierogi) that could be hot-n-ready. Alongside that I think introducing English and French hearty pastries and desserts would be a good idea.

American diner/sports bar with sexy ladies

i would make one thing very well and run it soup nazi style with no customization or subsitutions.

a fitness themed restaurant with a cutting and bulking menu, protein shake/preworkout bar, and an small gym attached for paying members to hit prs. either that or a burger place that makes everything from scratch. fresh baked bread, beef ground in house so that customers can choose from a variety of fat contents and maybe have some exotic meats on rotation. soda syrups made in house too and mixed with seltzer old fashioned style bc i hate soda companies.

Deep fried food that was 51% breading so I could make a massive profit from my non-Jewish customers. I would tell my people to eat somewhere else or give them a steep discount.

Icelandic with an emphasis on fermented seafood.

only a small stand or food truck that sells venezuelan empanadas. Nothing fancy, nothing hipster, no thai fusion vegan tex mex empanadas for 40$ a piece, only the real deal .

Most soyzuelans completely fuck it up trying to make arepas and empanadas fancy hipster food with buzzwords. Not even expats will want to eat that garbage

>>19667963
Fried savory pies. Very simple dough, with a few standard fillings and a few seasonal ones. Also fries, maybe salads or sandwiches as well, but nothing too complex.

>If you were going to open your own restaurant what kind of food would you want to make?
brunch spot so i can torture some line cooks with eggs bennyx9001. i'll also need an alcohol license to serve bloody mary and mimosas and pay out the ass for a meme-tier barista and high-level coffee products. ideally i'll also have an on-site bakery where everything is made in-house so i can gently shoo away glutenfags.
ideally this will be sustainable at a price level that is approachable for dentists, trophy wives, yuppies, and trust-fund hipsters and out of reach for after-church families and wandering townies. not turbo expensive, but juuuust enough that the psycho church lady will go to fuckin' dennys and not terrorize my staff.

this. I'd sell my salami sandwiches on the beach and go fly a kite with a giant sandwich printed on it once the batch sells out

>>19667963
i'd make a vegan restaurant, but all the food is poisoned.

>>19667963
If I had a fuckton of money to burn, I'd make a dwarven restaurant in a basement space. Focus on roasts and chops with plenty of mushroom/carrot/beet/other stuff that grows underground. Live in a big craft beer city, too, so a nice selection on tap would be a must.
It would hemorrhage money because I'd be trying to make a fantasy restaurant something that isn't a gimmick, just a normal restaurant but dwarven.

you are gonna attract the worst kind of theater kids and woke fans of critical role and your expensive passion project will turn into cringe compilation fodder in a nanosecond

>>19669280
that sounds like a money-printer going BRRRRRRRRRR to me

>>19669360
you'd just get influencers trying to get free food from you and the rest just take soy selfies on the entrance scaring away actual customers

I make a teeny-tiny restaurant and only hire midgets to work there. All of the food is super small and you feel like a giant when you eat it. The chairs are too small and uncomfortable. The toilets are tiny and you'll most likely clog the toilet if you take a huge shit but I have a team of 3 dedicated midgets for that.

You can get a tiny pizza you can eat in two bites and little sandwiches made by midgets. Beer comes in shot glass-sized mugs.

Also if you don't like the food or the service or you bump your head on one of my tiny door frames, you're encouraged to wreck the place. All of the little midgets are trained to run around and yell "The giant is angry! We've angered the giant!" and they'll wear protective padding so you can rage and kick the little midgets around as much as you want.

>>19669366
then you get social media clout and parlay that into a food network show and product endorsement contracts. people are retarded and deserve to be exploited. never forget this lesson, anon.

>>19669556
gimmick restaurants rarely make any money. They get of media attention but people that are atracted by that will only eat there once to make tik toks then never again and the core of the restaurant clientele will avoid your place because its full of soy and they'll assume that its shit . Social media is not the real world.

Scrapple, spam and eggs

All you need in a healthy diet.

i think you would make a lot of money from this in the long run, but would defintiely need to sink some insane cash into it to make it not tacky. Location might be an issue too since you would want to ideally find a way to make it underground or drilled into the side of a hill or mountain, which would usually have to happen somewhere with lower population

>>19667963
dude dragon pizza fucking suuucks

>>19667963
Ethiopian food joint. Ive only eaten at an Ethiopian restaurant once and Im not a nigger. I would also exclusively hire latin american illegal immigrants that barely speak english.

>>19668015
S for Slum

>>19670644
fuck off portnoy asslicker. The pizza is great and the chuddie shutdown attempt isn't working and won't work because Dragon Pizza is in a town as progressive if not more so than Portland or San Fran. The whole community is behind Dragon, they're not going anywhere.

i would not open my own restaurant because that sounds like hell

>>19667963
Me and a buddy have been thinking about getting a food truck for years.

Our main thing would be sandwiches, actual GOOD sandwiches made by people who actually enjoy food. Not these boring and lazy "ham & chesse" sandwiches that only have that.
We would make our own bread, probably Focaccia or Ciabatta and it'd include all type of ingredients that mix well together, taste good, and leave you filled and satisfied.
Then we'd have 2 random dishes that we swap every month so there's always something new. Would probably add the option of "building your own sandwich" as well.

Our biggest "issue" is that both of us want it to be profitable, but we also really want it to be affordable since both of us are firm believers in selling something for a lower price for less profit but in the long term making money since people would choose our alternative because of the price and most importantly, the taste.

But right now it's just a dream / idea since both me and my buddy can't afford a food truck right now, and we are unsure how long it will take before we are.

I want to open a burger shack that sells just basic
>bun
>meat
>cheese
>onion
>pickle
>sauce
burgers, but with better quality than regular fast food chains. Maybe fries as well but only as a combo with the burger.
There's like a dozen burger places in my town and literally all of them only sell shitty "gourmet" burgers with twice as much random assorted bullshit as meat. Either throwing a whole goddamn salad on it, or dumb shit like cheese patties or onion rings, or usually both.

>>19671449
Why wouldn't you sell just fries? And why wouldn't you provide shitty vegan soy burgers from a bag in the freezer?

>>19667963
probably make poop on a stick

>>19671464
>Why wouldn't you sell just fries?
To discourage hordes of teenagers occupying the place while sharing one order of fries.
>why wouldn't you provide shitty vegan soy burgers from a bag in the freezer?
On principle. The place of these vegan burgers is in exactly the kind of burger I don't want to make, the ones where it's masked by all the other ingredients. Not a meat-forward burger. Maybe when the come up with a tasty enough vegan patties, but this hasn't happened yet.

Also fries would be fried in beef fat, which I have learned recently is not actually that expensive despite very few places using it.

>>19671449
straightforward food restaurants are few and far between because they all sell out eventually. Then end up doing the same hipster shit at a lower quality and higher markup like everyone else does
When you make a reputaion there's every incentive to do it.
