Dallas Gas Monkey was Michelin star prices at bar food quality. I ate there a few years after it was opened and was SHOCKED at the prices. Food was sub par for the prices to say the least. He meeds to learn how to hire quality kitchen staff. As a retired chef, Dallas gas monkey was a joke!

Such "Brand Stores/Restaurants" are often not that great in regards of food. It's like the Hard Rock Café's - while that's unfair, normally those taste good and "only" are expensive.

I have a feeling it will be like so many other bars and restaurants in America. It will start out pretty good, then they'll start cutting corners on food and drink quality as well as cutting staff, and eventually it will be just another subpar bar and grille.

It can't be that hard to contract a professional kitchen manager and cook. The food is only there to support the drinkers at the bar really. Richard is a hustler.

It can. Its like cooking a burger you know "1000 people will like." - I know, we all like own burgers. But cooking so that everybody will like it *and* repeat that under time pressure and being constantly good is hard. That's the reason, the good kitchen managers & cooks are rare, because they already have good jobs ;D

I think independent food services ie vendors is a great idea. They’d lease a spot on your property, and all you do is serve alcohol, and pretzels. Keep it simple. Some Food Trucks have exceptional food. While the customer waits for food, they’ll order drinks and perhaps appetizers, quality quality affordable appetizers. Appetizers that are not in a can, or a bag. “Come on America” We can do better! We must do better. Richard Grow your food in greenhouses. Sell this to your vendors. Come on let’s get with it.

Paying 1 million dollars for a pizza place was strange. He has a partner that went in half with him, Mike, the bald creepy looking guy from Tennessee. Sturgis is dead for 51 weeks a year, only about 2500 people live there full time. The Bubba Gump Shrimp theme restaurants have been around for nearly 20 years. I doubt that it will last for over 2-3 years, the profit margins on restaurantsbis very low. Red Lobster and many other national chain restaurants are closing everyday. The past three generations just don't eat out as much as the previous generations.

Restaurants founded by a chef are the best. Restaurants founded just to make money based off a theme, are almost guaranteed to fail. I worked for 7 different restaurants, the food is the staples. You can call the place "shit salad" and people will love it if the food is good. Gas Monkey built it just for a cash grab. Food comes from passion of a chef.
