Buying a restuarant

[TranaGreg]

so this thread is about Toronto restaurants, not San Fran restaurants ... I know California thinks it's the centre of the universe, but seriously ...

actually, that's the knock up here in Canada against Toronto. I've tried to joke about it with my relatives from western Canada, but they can't see the humour.

we don't really have chain resturants in SF, other than local ones that maybe have 3 or 4 venues across the city. (frak, forgot about the crap by fisherman's wharf like Bubba Gumps or the Cheesecake Factory, this just in, when you come to SF, don't go to Fisherman's Wharf)

but then you'd miss that classic arcade place!

hey, we aren't supposed to talk about things here outside of Toronto

yep, I wasn't really thinking about Noah's or Subways, more the delightful lack of Applebee's/PF Changs/Border Grills that I see every frakking place I travel to in this fine land

In all of your travels are there any chains that you might actually go to if needed?

If he paid enough money, I'm sure he could add being in chains to the list of services.

What's the spice shop set up like in San Fran?

I seek out In and Out Burger....but in terms of actual sit down, advertise on TV, chain resturants, I can't think of the last one I've been in.

EDIT: It was a Pizza Hut for a nephew's birthday

are you asking, "where do you buy spices"? We don't have a lot of "spice shops" in the Bay Area, mostly you'd go to an ethnic grocery store, ie an Indian or Bangladeshi for curry spices, mexican stores for chilies. I'm going to a Japanese store on my way home from work today because we need Tonkatsu sauce.

Wow...a Sports Bar thread where elD and I agree. Unless you get a valuable asset as part of this - the liquor license, as was noted earlier, there's no way I'd go near a restaurant as an investment.

Nah ... reminded me of a classic PapaDeuce thread ... he was contemplating opening a spice shop or something.
