What would the name be, what would you serve and where would it be located?

I'd make a Great Deppression-themed restaurant with a buffet line. It would be called The Bowl and would become a franchise, located in several places.

My restaurant would be in some quiet street, non-descript. It would be called Tiquicia, serve latin american food (NOT Mexican) with flair. No advertising... no sign... would rely on word of mouth for our success.

It would be called McDonald's.

Rath - own, not frequent.

U Babushki would be mine!

It would be called KARMA, and serve healthy, stylish, appropriately portioned vegan, cruelty-free food, located on the upper east side (where I live.) No fur coats allowed inside.

My mother was Polish and there are very few Polish resturants on Long Island.

I'd open one and call it "Kapusta" (That's Polish for "cabbage")

It would be called The Big Ass Café and serve hugely indulgent cakes and pastries. It would be in Greenwich Village.

I would call mine Korine's Korner and serve up a bunch of sushi and whine. It would have a huge salad bar and everyone would have to wear hairnets or snoods.

Sueleen, I would be a regular.

But it would be closed on the weekends so the waitstaff could go prowling for men, because that's what you DO on weekends.

The salad bar alone would keep you regular. Just wash your hands when you come out of the bathroom.

Oh, why, it it like ethiopian style salad bar? Everyone sits there and just eats with their hands to show a sign of friendship?

The head chef would be Chef Boyardee
The maitre d would be Colonel Sanders
The head greeter would be Ronald Mac Donald
The head bartender would be Johnny Walker

Do you see a common thread here ?

Seriously, it would be an actual automat

it would serve only things i could eat (so no dairy, soy, peanuts, eggs, hot peppers, fish or corn) and my dog would walk around to each table and beg for food. kind of like my kitchen, but id get paid for hanging out there.

I almost opened a restaraunt with an ex lover. Good thing it never happened, it was an ugly divorce.

I would call it "The Comfort Zone" and we would serve all the childhood favorites that are probably bad for you - but you just don't care becuse the food makes you feel so good.

Mine would be called Essen. That is Yiddish for eat. I would serve: kasha varniskes, stuffed cabbage, kugels, brisket, etc. There would also be a mother-like waitress to come around to all the tables to say: " Eat already! There are children starving in Europe." " I slaved over a hot stove all day and you eat it in just 10 minutes." So when are you getting married?"

It would be called @Last and would serve pasta dishes from various cultures, as well as a selection of gourmet breads and decadent chocolate desserts. It would be on Bleecker Street and would only be open for lunch.

If I owned the BWW Cafe, I would sure have served up a lot of BWW Patty MeltDowns this week.

DollyPop...I like your idea for a Polish restaurant. Polish food is very good and very much similar to Jewish food. I make a mean stuffed sweert and sour cabbage!

[Holliwoodblonde]

It'd be called Dom's (not original, but it's my dad's name)

And we'd serve Italian food and matzoh ball soup.

Lots of pasta and fresh loaves of bread with seasoned olive oil for dipping.

Calories be damned

It would be a pancake house named the LuftWaffle, although horribly offensive to many people (me included) because in gr 12 history I always UNKNOWINGLY put LuftWAFFLE instead of Luftwaffe being the Germany Air Force during WWII...

we'ed serve waffles, and pancackes and what-not with eqaully, although not yet thought up, odd names belonging to each

maybe like Stalins Strawberry Syrup.... any suggestions?

It would be a Red Lobster style restaurant (that obviously would serve seafood and the like) called By the Sea. The location would be near a pier or beach.
