A Keto Restaurant

5, 10, or 20 years from now, there will be a Keto eating establishment (my prediction). Especially when people en masse find out about this diet. Maybe one exists now? I don't know. But we could have a little fun with this.
Lets create a "dream" restaurant.
We need a:
This is not serious, so funny stuff is encouraged.
You don't have to tackle all of the above, just pick one (or more) items and make a suggestion.

Lets create a "dream" restaurant.
We need a:
- Name for the restaurant
- Menu (give creative names for the meals)
- Recipes
- Would we have any NON-keto foods? (I say no)
- What would the kids eat?
- When a "I-don't-know-what-keto-is" person walks in, what would the server explain to that person?
- Maybe have a back room with the "Fat Head" video playing on a big screen?
- List any other considerations you can think of.

Breakfast; Bullet proof coffee (several variations), eggs (in every possible way), bacon, steak
Lunch: Hamburger(s) with alternate types of buns (?), fried radishes, brocolli, fried squash, cottage cheeses?
Dinner: Chicken, fish, shrinp, steak meals, asparagus,
For the condiments, have a "butter" squirt bottle (like a squeez catsup bottle)
Maybe have a choice of what kind of oil to have your food cooked in? (butter, coconut, ghee, etc)
Dessert: You know what that would be, all kinds of Fat bombs!!!
and other ???
All items on the menu would have the macros on them of course.
Thats a start,

Kids meal: scrambled eggs, a strip of bacon, some ham, fried radishes or sautead asparagus. Strips of steak with cauliflower rice and lots of butter. Maybe almond bread as a side. I've started experimenting on the kids I babysit. Honesty, they'll eat keto if given the option. Onlystickingis juice.0

I was actually talking about this with my boyfriend the other night! Weird! I'd want stuff that's been remade to be keto... like mac n' cheese or something.0

Instead of "pick your own lobster" tank, a "pick your own lamb/veal calf/chicken" pen.
Too cruel?
A la carte everything (no included sides).
Charge by the macro ($0.01/g_fat, $0.05/g_protein, $0.75/g_net_carb).
12 egg omelet... with option to upgrade to yolks only.
Drawn butter shooters.
Make your own bacon station at every table.0 -

I didn't know what to think when you posted that. I was born and raised in Texas (lived there 38 years) and I never heard of it. So I goggled it. OM Gosh! They have one in downtown Detroit! Its a little pricey and a little bit of a drive (25 miles), but I think I'm gonna go down there and check it out!
Thank You Dragon!!! I love this group...

You also might check yelp for "churrascaria" or "churrasco." I went to one in Houston. Mind blowingly good.0

You know those "no shirt, no shoes, no service" signs. I would make a big neon sign "No Sugar Zone" or "Leave Your Carbs at the door", or something like that.
All menues would start with "Ditch the Carbs..... blah blah"
Pictures of bacon everywhere!
For BPC have a photo of guns shooting coconut oil/butter and whipping cream. Umm, not sure how that would look....

Dessert: chocolate mousse, dark chocolate samplers, berries and cream, almond cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, coconut cookies, frozen custard.0

All vegetables must be deep-fried (no breading of course) or cooked/served with copious amounts of butter, bacon fat, etc. I've been go a place that has deep-fried Brussels sprouts and they are super good.0

Texas de Brazil and many other Brazilian steakhouses are awesome! I seek them out when I travel as there are none within 2 or more hours of where I live. Sign up for their mailing list and you should get some kind of coupon for your visit.0 -

We have a Brazilian steakhouse called Brasa about an hour away. They make you wait and wait for the meat to give you a chance to fill up at the cheaper to serve salad bar.0

The kids are easy. My kids heartily eat keto if you serve it to them. No more bribing kids to eat their veges.
I regularly serve up:
Bolognaise sauce topped with cheese and sour cheese (MexiMoo)
Steak (Daisy)
Bacon (Miss Piggy)
Ham (Babe)
Eggs - scrambled, boiled, fried, omelete (Googy Goodness) Do all countries call eggs googies?????? Or is that just an Aussie thing?
Sausages (I've found a farmer who supplies 100% beef sausages.)
Chicken legs (Henny Penny)
Keto Chicken Nuggets cookmeketo.com/recipes/viewrecipe.php?r_id=39 (Chicken Little)
Keto Fish Nuggets (same recipe as chicken nuggets) (Nemo Nuggets)
"I don't know what keto is." Carnivore Heaven. Meat, meat and more meat. All served with lashings of butter.0 -

That reminds me. Used to be a restaurant down by my in-laws that was bbq themed. Instead of bringing bread or crackers before meals, everyone got a basket of carrot and celery sticks with blue cheese and ranch. We can skip the carrots and the ranch.0 -

In Australia, if you don't pay for the food, it isn't put on the table. The only thing free is tap water.

I was thinking "The Butter Bowl"
There used to be a vegan place in Weiser but it did not last long in the land of cattle country. LOL

I think it should be a foodie place to draw attention to how AWESOME it can be! Except for a few of us, keto can include a LOT! What if there was a Hell's Kitchen or a Top Chef KETO edition?!0

Do you guys not want the restaurant to be profitable? There's a reason most restarant food is so carb-based.
But anyway, back to the brainstorming!
* pork rind nachos
* guacamole
* berries & cream for dessert
* macros listed on the menu
* spirits and low-carb mixers at the bar, with creative theme cocktails
* cauliflower rice pilaf as a side
* what atmosphere would be best? Homestyle diner, swanky high end, pub?

LOL, I was thinking for of a ratio. Those specific values wouldn't have to be what we stuck to. I actually figured it out... a 1-10-40 ratio of cost (fat-protein-carb) would most directly line the cost up with the macros most people aim at. So, eating a combination of foods that skew from those macros would be less efficient, from a monetary stand-point.
An 8oz ribeye would be around $6.55 with those at a 1 cent base... make it a 2c base and we're around $13 for an 8 oz steak. And $32.75 for a big 20 oz one. That aligns the meat with the normal pricing.
A salad would be a bit pricey. A potato, rice, or french fries would be insane... but we could offer them. A small french fries would run like $30. lol0
