    A place where everything was fresh and healthy. Low sugar, no chemicals. And full fat content.

    Someday I'll be opening a bakery and will put to use the $26,000+ it cost me to go to culinary school.

    Could I get a discount for being there every day?

    Everything gluten free, baby. Pies, cakes, chewy delicious fresh bread, and fried chicken.

    I'm catering to my beloved Celiac crowd, not the health crowd ;-)

    German-Asian fusion. Beer, spaetzle and 1000 year old eggs. It would be called Sriracha's Haus of Schnitzel. Just, you know, to give my customers a good mindfvck.

    Actually - I think an organic, locally sourced gastropub would be really fun to helm. Have beer pairings, even with breakfast.
  • OMG, pancakes and waffles! Totally!! And I would make it a pancake/waffle bar with toppings. That would be amazing.

    I'd go Italian.

    I'd name it after myself, my middle name alone probably.

    I can make a mean spaghetti, homemade meatballs, homemade oven baked garlic bread, pizza's, lasagna.....rigatoni with meat n cheese............geez...........oh yeah.............we'd do some italian sub sandwich's during the day.

    if it was a restaurant it would be Thai or Italian!
    actually Im planning on opening a small cupcake cafe that sells special cupcakes (vegan, gluten free, diabetic friendly etc.).
    There is no cupcake store/cafe where I live neither there is a lot of food for "special diets". Hope it works out!

    I can't tell you because I want to do it and no one has ever done it, at least I've never seen it any where.
