If you had the bucks and the ambition to start a chain of fast food restaurants what would be your food specialty?

Pizza, chicken,  hamburgers, omelets,  fish 'n chips, road kill...? What would you make unique about YOUR product?

    I've never thought about opening a fast-food type restaurant, but have in the past considered buying a diner.   I might serve plates consisting of a  serving of boneless meat and two or three vegetables cooked in a healthy fashion along with corn bread or a yeast roll and a piece of homemade pie.  That's it.  Drive through only.  Might call it No Bones About It.   It would be like a short-list menu diner, take out only but from a drive through.  Absolutely no worries about customers in a restaurant.   No public restroom.   This is sounding better and better.  

    I think a bone on a plate is gross.  Always have.  I try to not even buy meat with bones.

    Sounds good. Don't forget to put in little packets of salt, pepper, ketchup etc. I got a take-out one time then was a ways down the road when I discovered was no salt and stuff and I am a salt addict so I had to drive all the way back to replenish my meal.

    I always had thoughts about a high quality burger diner. Location would be the key to success with this one. Very different from anything out there now. 
    However, it would not work for me anymore, I am too animal rights conscious.  I probably would be vegan if I coud work out the diet and recipe issue.  I tried it and loved it but a lot of my hair fell out.

    It would be a sub shop!  It has to be a sub shop.

    I'll make it a chain restaurant.  Hopefully I can dominate the market. This post was edited by Livvie at June 22, 2019 8:38 AM MDT
