Freebie.

Let's discuss a great business idea. I'm giving you this one for free.

I often wish I enjoyed food preparation more because I have some great restaurant ideas for the city of Tallahassee. When I go out to eat, I have a sixth sense for ambiance. If the food is to- die-for and the price is moderate, I care less about the setting. Conversely, if the food is expensive and the atmosphere is lacking, I could care less how good the meal was, I will walk away from it thinking "the lights should have been lower, there should be more booths, etc..."

On the corner of Monroe and Tennessee street there is a BP gas station for sale. There are large, operable doors that can open wide for the beautiful spring/fall days we have in Tally. There is a decent sized parking lot, it is convenient to FSU, and walking distance from the downtown businesses. Folks, this is a goldmine waiting to happen.

I think a Taqueria del Sol franchise should take over this place. Taqueria del Sol is a one of a kind restaurant that combines the quality of fine dining ingredients with fast-casual prices, and offers authentic Southwestern selections as well as a variety of Southern-inspired menu choices.

It's divine. Every time I'm in Atlanta I detour to grab a couple of tacos, guacamole and a margarita. It's fast, cheap, there is a great atmosphere and there is typically a line out-the-door.

Wall Street Journal said gas station taquerias are the latest and greatest, kind of like the dozens of self serve yogurt establishments that have invaded our city.

Now Tallahasseeans, let's find an ambitious manager to run this restaurant. I'll give you my unsolicited atmosphere advice.

Random.

The theme of this post is unrelated awesomeness.


One day when I own a store or have a massive butlers pantry my baskets will have casters.

The Paris Market in Savannah. I really enjoyed this picture message my friend sent me while she was on vacation. She knows how I love great design atmosphere.

I'm not sure if I like the tub and faucet or the dog more. Too cute! Via The Perfect Bath

I didn't want to keep it all to myself.

Visions of a Restaurant

I have no desire to run a restaurant but I cannot stop myself from thinking "if I opened a restaurant it would look like this"

I would use this stainless steel brushed gold setting:


I stumbled upon this adorable creamer and decided I would have to use these to serve milk, creamer or soy milk in:
My restaurant would resemble Bazaar in Madrid designed by Lazaro Rosa Violan

Thank you Paloma for posting about Lazaro. I am smitten.
