Is the white community finally figuring it out?

[IrezumiKiss]

Closings, closings.

What in the hell were they thinking? That a restaurant, any new restaurant, was going to somehow take from the previous restaurant to give to them a new privileged gastro fantasy?

They watched as new upscale restos lost out to high rents. time and time again. Did they think they were going to get cuts of prime rib for cheap? They would eat more arugula in their school lunch programs than in ten-dollar salad bowls. Too bad they didn't invest in accessible and quality execution. Too bad their micro-neighborhoods are going to have even more food oases now that the Cheeto took office.

I'm betting that the next hipster restaurant is going to be built by some no-name upstart that is absolutely white owned. It's Chic now eating of the genus Allium so the onions will decide which skillet meals will do the job. And those various and stinky special diet foodies......go fugg yo'self.

Fuck that. Why not just put a bodega box in and call it a day?

The most idiotic thing, ever. The glass would be stickered up within a week even in the "cool" areas.

Dickey's Bar-B-Que ain't bad for a chain store. Out here we got Mountain Mike's Pizza and a few good taco trucks. For fancier there's always Red Lobster -- can't beat them cheezy biscuits. Wanta get hoity-toity? We got some high-class Italian eateries here. Shirts and shoes required.

Nope, we never worry about them hipster hotspots opening and closing. We had one nearby, run by an early Alice Waters Chez Panisse collaborator. It lasted a few years but the sports bar that replaced it does more business.

Is this an east coast thing? Or a coastal thing?

It's a happening-cities thang. They're bragging about epicurean revolutions in Santa Fe, Billings, Topeka, Cincinnati, Austin, Pittsburgh, Memphis. Yeah, Portland and Brooklyn and Frisco and Miami too. Any place educated people go to make money generates a food-and-fun scene with constant turnover of startups, failures, retries.

My son-in-law is a former celeb chef. (His boss was the mega-celeb, not him.) The guys who catered my daughter's 2nd baby shower were ex-staff of his, each now with their own TV show. When we visit in San Francisco, we're constantly taken to snappy little eateries run by his chef-buddies. They're all hotspots. They're all lucky to last nine months. They all get restarted as something else. Nobody is starving, although they could make more money running a hot-dog cart

I recently read that somewhere -- Pittsburgh? Cincinnati? Lawrence? -- the majority of new business activity was with restaurants. People cook less and eat out more. What does that portend for local and regional economies?

Fun fact: Americans spend more time watching cooking shows than cooking.

Actually the "white" community knows what just about every other community knows, that the restaurant business is difficult.

What makes this a "White" thing?

 

[richard_daily]

Won't someone PLEASE think of the cigar bars, gastro pubs, and other trends that have come and gone!?!?

Maybe a minority racist.

Businesses come and go all the time. Success and failure is the essence of free enterprise. Good ideas rise to the top bad ideas are put aside and replaced by new ideas.

And sometimes, shit just happens. A local family ran a franchise BBQ eatery down in the county seat. Tired of franchise rules, they sold out and bought an established greasy-spoon a half-hour up the mountain, right next to a world-class ice creamery. Totally redid the new place, set a classy fresh-light-local cuisine, and were doing great business.

That was one week. The next week, the place was empty and fenced off. It still is, only a few weeks later. Why? Daddy's fatal heart attack? I dunno; nothing in local news about the shutdown. Point is, even good ideas can be killed by external forces, not only by being shot down by something better.
