just shootin' the shit about the restaurant biz

@tunderscoreball In my experience, you are correct.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

Okey dokey.

@cmfuld Currently looking for a place for a dinner for 10 this Saturday and laughing at the state of this town.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

@cmfuld Told you. Lol.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

@cmfuld You get one guess as to where in Texas this restaurant is. (you'll only NEED one guess) 😂

Cook Out is cool. https://t.co/mbpYvEHxHF

Subway has closed 6,000+(!!!) locations over the last 8 years and still has more spots in the US (over 20K) than any other restaurant. That’s amazing.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

@huskers88 Lol. That last sentence of yours completely slaps. #true

Oh no. "Jimmy Sears" is back at it. Local legend, Chef John Tesar fired off on protesting resort employees while working in California. https://t.co/nYIWO79gLH

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

The name "Jimmy Sears" (more a pseudonym) was given to him in 'Kitchen Confidential' by none other than Anthony Bourdain, whom Tesar worked with many moons ago in NYC.

“probably the single most talented cook I ever worked with—and the most inspiring.” -Bourdain

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

If you're unfamiliar with Chef Tesar (whom everyone who's worked in Dallas has a story about. Surprisingly, mine are all good), he's...well...ummm...well known. Here's the latest video where he tells the protestors to "suck..." https://t.co/e1yiW4WusN

@chuckzcc The loooooove cold cuts.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

In what is both the most and least surprising news ever, Roark Capital is buying Subway. $9.6 billion throws Subway onto the pile of what they already own: Arby's Baskin-Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Jimmy John's, Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, Carl's Jr, Hardees...my goodness.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

@cmfuld It’s getting insane.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

@chuckzcc I agree. I would’ve ordered some food today and eaten there. I get it- it’s basically a glorified food court at that point, but maybe the right context is “elevated food court with lots of take away options.” Lol

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

I stumbled into touring this place today. My first time in one of these industrial/commissary/ghost/virtual/offsite kitchen places. Felt like a hotel, but behind all 25 doors was a fully-equipped kitchen. Everyone from WingStop to a one-off bakery in there.https://t.co/16B953bb7Z

@bcasey55 Not much difference, except the rent is a bit lower and the utility bills too. But the key is the have flexibility. For too long, certain concepts have been constrained by their layout parameters. Now, it’s like, fuck it, let’s sell tacos anywhere.

[Howling Up @HowlingUp]

Everybody’s messin’ with their footprint these days. 1,600 sq ft Taco Bell? Do you, TB. https://t.co/dRXBdr1cQA

Let's see. 4 1/2 months left in '23. That's about 18 weeks. 1+ of these joints a week? Seems doable. Who's with me? Must be unemployed and have nothing but free time and reliable 20mph+ transportation.
