Posted: 3/7/05 at 10:18pmI would serve classic favorites with a classy, modern twist on them. Upscale but fun.

Name: Tiquicia
I'd serve typical costarican food... not fancy, very homey. Lots of light wood, I'd have a wood stove in the middle or corner... I would also be a mostly gluten free environment; which most costarican food is anyway.

Posted: 3/7/05 at 10:33pmThis is a nice idea for a thread. I would have restaraunt that would serve Jewish cuisine. Matzo balls, cholent, kugels, and so forth. The food would be all hand made there. nothing packaged. Perhaps I should call it Yenta's Place.

Now I'm hungry...
I'd serve Italian, probably. It'd be casual but fast, like a Panera type of set up. Lots and lots of cheese on everything too, and you can customize your pizzas and pasta toppings. And really great rolls, of course.

Another possible idea for a restaurant:
A restaurant where most, if not all, dishes can be served by themselves or in some other style. For example, you could just have Chicken Parm, or a Chicken Parm Wrap, or a Chicken Parm Panini, or a Chicken Parm Sub, etc...

German/Austrian/Swiss food, and I would decorate it with murals of Chiemsee, and Frauen Insel and Herren Insel.....

Thanks, Yenta. 
Mattio, I like that idea. It'd work well with Italian food too- wanna go into buisness together?

Sounds good to me. And you can do it with Asian food too. Sesame Chicken can be served plain, over rice, in pancakes, etc...
I'd also like to create a restaurant that honors international food on its own and as fusion cuisine. So you could have genuine Thai cuisine and maybe some pan-asian on the side.

Posted: 3/7/05 at 10:45pmI'd call it Krazy Kimmy's House of Karbs. And we would only serve carbs. Pasta, bread, breaded things, just bowls full of flour. And everybody would come, because EVERYBODY is a closeted carb fiend.

This will be fun, Mattio. Can you combine Asian and Italian? I wonder what tomato sauce would be like over rice...
Kimmy, I'll be spending every dime I earn in my restaurant at your place. I live for carbs.

Posted: 3/7/05 at 10:52pmTomato sauce over rice is SO good.
#17re: Just for fun- if you owned a restaurant
Posted: 3/7/05 at 10:54pmActually, insomniak, there's a costarican dish where you do just that... granted, it also includes chicken... but still... it's one of my favorite 'comfort foods'

Another Idea:
De La Vigne
A restaurant where all the dishes are flavored using fruit and fruit extracts such as chicken marinated partially in strawberries and other dishes of that type.

Ooooh, yum. I really want to try it now. I think I have a new after-school snack.
Another idea- bread and _____.
Take a roll, cut it open and stuff with anything you want- I've put tomato sauce and parmesean in them before, but I bet you could stuff them with meat and veggies too. Sorta like a burrito, but not.

Posted: 3/7/05 at 11:01pmA lot of chinese restaurants make chicken in a strawberry sauce. It's very tasty.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 1:18amI would serve only Vegan food. Those are the only details I can supply at this time.

Mongolian, since Im crazing some fire pot and buuz(booz) right now.
well i think that the only real thing that has to happen in my resturant is that it has to be a silverware free resturant.
need to defrag my brain.
