Theme Restaurant
• Recently a historical and a very prestigious restaurant/club closed its doors for good. Months before that happened, when I first got wind they were winding down, I had approached the then manager with a new business format to revive the restaurant. While he thought my format was a brilliant one, he said he didn't have the clout or the nerve to shop it to the owners and he was unwilling to have me directly approach them. No disrespect intended, but the owners were a bunch of very old and staid business men with no restaurant experience. And, they didn't like to deal with anyone from outside of their very tight circle. I still believe my format for the restaurant is worth exploring and would like to develop it further and present it to an interested party -- preferably one in the restaurant business.
