Hi All,
I am just very excited because my easy child son (23) opened a restaurant yesterday with a partner. easy child used to work for a place specializing in wings in our college community--he mostly was a delivery driver and sometimes he cooked. He and another guy who worked there decided there is a market in our town for Philly cheesesteaks. They saved their money for over a year (easy child lived at home to save money and worked many many hours) and rented a place and opened yesterday. They exceeded their goal for opening day and in fact I had to go to the grocery store for them to buy more provolone, mushrooms and potato chips.
Their food is delicious--my son was the one who developed the menu and perfected the recipes (his partner was the one who actually knew what you have to do to open a business and who could "schmooze" with salesmen, the landlord, etc.) They both say that they will not sell anything they wouldn't want to eat themselves.
Anyway, apparently the college kids are already on to them and looks like they have a chance to succeed--I am so thrilled!
Thanks for reading this,
Jane
