IDBillzFan Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 You're in LA and you are going to open a restaurant featuring food from Buffalo? No disrespect, but is there a market? When it comes to wings, people out here gather around and extol the virtues of Hooters or TGIFridays. You should do a fusion thing. Hot sauce poured over Mahi Mahi. Something like that.

Dr. Fong Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dude, best of luck with that if you go through with it. My advice is stay well away from the restaurant business. I have seen many a people take a bath in that business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS 280436[/snapback] Hmmmnnn.......Beef on "Wick" and "Sabers"......you really have been out of Buffalo for a while. Wing sauce is simple.....50/50 Frank's hot sauce and marjerine or butter. If you are asking for advice here, I would say you must be Anglo or Jewish...or left the city at 4. No offense......what makes Buffalo food the best is the different choices from different backgrounds. You got the Sahlens though...good start, but you have to grill them. I say get some nice Polish and Italian sausage going....even some nice cold cuts...like the Bison/Battestoni/Rich's Cappecola and Salami...... LA is probably on the ball with the fact that there might not be a market out there. If you need a write off...fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stussy109 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dude, best of luck with that if you go through with it. My advice is stay well away from the restaurant business. I have seen many a people take a bath in that business. 280445[/snapback] I for one can vouge for that on personal experience. A good recipe for wings is Franks Red hot sauce, and Liquid margarine. I think its 3parts hot sauce to 1 part margarine. Best thing to do in the restaurant busienss is try all your own food, if its no good, change it around. #1 ingredient to success is location, next is having a good product, next is keep your expenses as low as possible. Most important, figure out how to get people in your door! I opened a food business in 02, learned some things, and have since stayed away from the food business.

KeyserSoze81 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 "A Taste of Buffalo"Catchy restaurant name..... 280485[/snapback] My brother went to school in Georgetown, in DC... He used to go to a place called "A Taste of Buffalo" all the time... The thing is, the restaurant owner apparently had to put up a disclaimer saying that no actual buffalo meat was served! Anyways, as someone who is currently in Toronto and craving real Buffalo food every day, I wish you good luck. How I couldnt go for a Ted's footlong, Mighty Taco combo 1, and Anchor Bar pizza logs and wings right now... On that note, off to Tim Horton's; Toronto has one at nearly every corner .

THANKS 280436[/snapback] OK- The trick for the flavor is deep frying the wings in *peanut oil* Nothing gets 'em as tasty in the world as that. NOW- Add a "Garbage plate" to your menu...ever been to Nick Taho's in Roch? This anti-weight loss treat will so disturb So-Cal you will have the local TV news covering you. Now I hope you have written a biz plan...if not write one first...only 1 out of 20 restaraunts make it...you need a food court location where there is allready hungry Mall people looking for something new...Low monthly overhead is key as well I'm thinking of doing a pesto thing here in Seattle...so good luck and go for it!

JLO Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I had an idea for a similar restaurant, that would also serve Garbage Plates and Zwiegles. If you get Labatts on tap I will make the drive from Hollywood for all Bills games. I would call the place Back East. Theres a lot of WNY'ers in the Burbank/Toluca Lake area where I watch the games, you should open it closer there. Good Luck, when is the grand opening?
