    If you were going to open a "Comfort Food" Restaurant, what would be your "FIVE (5) Must Have on the Menu" Items?

    From an owners view I liked one place I ran.
    We offered fresh cooked turkey breast and medium rare RB. We had the best "hot shots" in town as the fresh meat was carved warm to order.
    The left over would be sliced for a turkey club and IB/french dip. It usually worked out perfrctly. I would actually keep the left over for a 3rd day as a back up it I ran out of either.
    Then use the remainder for soups. Great food cost control/
    We would have the required(in the 80’s) 8oz burgers with choice of topping.
    One or 2 blue plates specials and of course fish on friday.
    Fill out the rest w/ salads, hot and cold sandwiches and we had a winner.

    Ahh, now a personal attack, implying I have a "problem." I never said it was your quote. Does it really matter whose quote it is? I was only trying to further the comfort food discussion by naming other restaurants that have been doing upscale comfort food for years. But you persist in your "what is your point/what is your problem" attacks on anything I say that happens to disagree with your views.

    Whats that got to do with anything?

    quote from your original post about Catie Girls:"(and possibly the world s) first upscale comfort food dining experience. "

    Now go ahead, read that carefully, take your time. and tell me what that has to do with "anything."

    See, the "first" would have to come BEFORE restaurants that have been doing it for 25 years.

    Hope that clear things up for ya’

    Geeez what is your problem????? That’s on their menu not a quote from me.

    I think they have only been open for 5 or maybe 10 years but I’m not sure they have had the same theme and menu since they opened. All I know is the bid against me big time when the former restaurant in that location went out of business and sold everything at auction. At the time their grandmother told me they were spending their inheritance before they got it. LOL
