so i went to rays (anderson ave) today because i hate how busy dillons always is. i boycot them. anyway, i've never paid attention to the price of chicken until today. they had chicken quarters for $0.62/pound. that means that you can buy a leg and thigh bone in for like $0.70. then you just add some rice and peas (read beans and rice but with a little coconut milk instead of southern spices) and you can make a meal for like a dollar that you could sell for 7 (little grill). plus there is a big hole for a carribean themed type place in aggieville.
taco place? check. sandwich place? check. burger place? check. just make it similar in size to rab or so long or taco lucha and design it well and also offer up shrimp dishes and stuff and then carribean crap the hell out of the place and have good bartenders and specials and decent music and boom. we are cool aggieville restaurant/bar owners. :gocho:
thoughts?

No negative repercussions at all. I'm in.

Just 1 who is rich and hard working with about 200k in disposable start up cash.

I may do this. I will see if my special lady friend can get a tenure position at KSU, and if so, then this is a go.

our business partner (jakesie) would run the crap out of this place.

If we asked that fix it restaurant show to come evaluate us, would that muscular British guy yell at Jakesie or be all cool to him?

wow, yes. restaurant tables have control over the music.
-
also, we punch card people. like ten jerk chicken meals and you get a jerk chicken meal free. also, we play soccer (futbol) games on our small but adequate tv's and have soccer (futbol) drink specials. like two dollar red stipe pints during "big" matches from the pitch. :dunno:
-
I have no money, but I like reggae music and can remodel the place or whatever.
Buy pats and have the front be goEMAW.com bar and jamaican/Caribbean restaurant, and the back can be sds Hyatt.

it's probably only going to be a Hyatt House or Hyatt Place though. we'd have to really turn our crap up to infinity to get them to Park Hyatt or Andaz our asses when we're remodeling pat's blue ribbon.
-
Steel drums on the patio :excited:
-
SD, the turn table from the bar idea is pretty rough ridin' fantastic. That could be a real live thing that makes a boat load of money.
What about touch screen PC's in the booths/ tables?

the hyatt house place is probably ideal for us. just imo. i'll start calling people monday.

the great thing is we wouldn't even need that. everyone could just go to the goEMAWbar/Hyatthotel turntable room and party from their phones. we could have one tv with the feed from the room and the chat off to the side (let's keep it PG13 guys)
-
so we're all essentially millionaires (or more millionaires) now.

I mean, I hate to count chickens and all, but this is pretty bullet proof.
-
We don't need a bunch of rooms, just to charge a lot per room. Will be easier to fill and just as much money
-
i can't see a possible way that this does not work and i've run through at least thirty-forty scenarios in my brain on this thing.
i mean you guys, the god damn chicken is prob like fifty cents a plate when we buy in bulk!

triple rough ridin' newsflash... look at this place in chicago that has a theme (bourbon) and has a couple of bedrooms upstairs.
http://www.longmanandeagle.com/
now look at the fact that they are a mother rough ridin' 27 zagat rated restaurant and named the number one GQ flophouse and top ten GQ whiskey houses in america.
http://www.longmanandeagle.com/blog/2013/04/le-gq-usa/

who really cares when i personally guarantee that we will have callaloo.
every jamaican restaurant encounter i've ever had.....
"hi can i get jerk chicken, rice and peas and some callaloo?"
"sorry. we're out of callaloo".
-
Quad news flash! Fried plantains are easy as f to make. I would perform as a consultant, for a reasonable fee, to train any pud chicken cooker hired to make them.
-
My fav kc restaurant was the mango room RIP. make a Mango room in MHK.
-

Yes! Was delish. Fried green beans!

I was gonna buy a new SUV but this sounds like a much better investment, put me in for 30k. Somebody get the person who decorated so long/taco lucha on speed dial
-
Completely unrelated, but my fried plantain consultation fee is $30k, guys.
-
a huge fish tank. no, not full of tropical fish, but a community fish tank with the top off filled with rice and patrons can come and grab fistfuls of rice as they see fit. :surprised:

meat pies, jambalaya, pork chops. really pissed it's gone.
-
i mean we will have patties just because we'll have to, but we will make them expensive with some kind of bling in a white midwestern way and sell them for like $3.75 or something and people will go "wow they are so cheap!".
-
what about little grill?
-
Snoop Lion Cafe
-
what about little grill?
what about them? they are fifteen minutes away from aggieville. they might as well be negril caribbean in jc. i mean yeah they are like ten minutes closer with better ambiance, but their food isn't as good. we will beat them with both.

Trick them by calling it southeastern cuisine. Then put some fried things on the menu (plantains!), and it will be widely loved.
Hire some pretty waitress and fitz will do all your advertising for nothing.

well i could argue that midwesterners don't like cajun as much either but hibachi hut made it for fifty years until some dumbasses ruined it. it really isn't that hard. it would work in aggieville.
-
sure, they have no idea what Caribbean is though. they know what jambalaya and gumbo is. they prolly think Caribbean is all spicy and seafood'ish.
-
nope

i think you are overplaying manhattanites idea or love of what cajun is or the fact that they even care. cause 70% of them just wanted to eat at the cajun place and order the birdie or belly bomb. it would be like that but more caribbean themed. much more and aggieville would eat it up. you could still get a "carribean burger, etc".
-
nope
yes. this would not work in topeka. it would in aggieville.

Hey, sure, if you want someone to do it really mediocrally then yeah, any jackass can do it. But if you want it to be something people try and think "oh my God I need to come back here soon, VERY soon!" then you probably need someone with more experience.

it's mostly all chicken, rice, plantains, beans, chick peas, cilantro, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, coconut, some shrimp maybe. wikipedia helped me with some of that. I wouldn't have said chick peas or sweet potatoes but what do you know, there they are.

Pat's is too big.

i would not agree with this list at all and would add goat and curry (lots of goat and curry) and take out chick peas, cilantro, bell peppers, tomatoes and sweet potatoes.
and like i said, we would be like american/caribbean, with the theme being the most important thing about the whole place, so we really wouldn't have any goat and not that much curry. v nice bath rooms and size being the next most important part of the equation. followed by good decor, competent staff and great tasting food in that order. it's a homerun guys.

There was this whole discussion in some other thread about MHK limiting new liquor licenses, not sure id that became reality or not.. But the thought was that the most efficient way to get one was but an existing place.

name the last small to medium sized themed aggieville restaurant with nice restrooms that failed? you can't. sorry.
-
I think an unusual food genre of any kind would do well in Aggieville, if done well.
Indian food British themed pub would be cool
-
Oh, oh, oh....
Make it a Gastro Pub that features foods from genres of former British colonies! Rick gets his jerk chickens and rice peas and I get my veggie pakora and chicken tikka masala with nann

it is so cavalier for you guys to think this would be easy. maybe you should contact the guys at pig and finch and see if they would be interested in expanding their brand.

I'm glad you agree. It would feature wines from the greatest non-french wine regions on earth.
It's really not that different than what you find in pubs in London...loads of curries and other Caribbean influences, but for this concept, I'll really hammer on the most exotic elements.
Then, you throw in the obligatory fish & chips and maybe a meat pie and your done.

Rick, here is what we would call it, and the front would look like this
