Sometime in 95 or 96, early summer, me and my girlfriend drove down to 6 flags great adventure, with the safari and shit, for a few days. It was comical how the New Jersey stank appeared almost instantaneously when you entered the state. Obv the whole state doesn't stink, and the gas station rules are charming, but what a fucking first impression that smell used to be.
Does it still stink, btw?
I remember I was helping my brother move to Florida around five years ago and we stopped at one of those rest area/gas stations on the NJ Turnpike and waited around 20 min to fuel up because literally one guy was pumping gas for three rows of cars and trucks. Granted it was the winter and cold as fuck but I would have much rather pumped it myself and gotten out of dodge.
It's a unique animal..
I know so many professionally trained chefs and m.b.a. that couldn't make it a year..
It looks like it will sell. There arguing over 20k???.
Il take a couple of months off but I'm 47 y.o. don't want to waste much cash..
I always loved the everyday cash of the service industry.
I see my married friends live off of paychecks and stay home a lot..THAT SUCKS..
I am seriously considering going to Jersey..
I could sublet a condo for 1200$ and rent my spot out for 1700..
Change of scenery..
Lived the single life for so long. Spend what I want/do what I want..I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW..
I'm sure I could pick up a weekend shift in a food establishment to clear 500$ a week. That's ok for now course I don't feel like working more then part time..
Goto get a resume going. I can't believe what people actually live on..
I was also thinking of opening a very very small place somewhere in Jersey next to office buildings. Only have like five stools and 4 booths. It will mostly take out and delivery.. I think.that would work because I won't have partners but it will cost about 150k(I'll make the store from scratch).
I could give the office managers and bosses free food to kindly have there offices order from me and allow me to cater there meetings..
I also have to make sure it's real close to public transportation. U can sell a lot of coffee and egg sandwiches with that, especially if u have a restroom.
I don't know. I do know there no room for profit in New York and that type of place wouldn't be cost efficient..
I've lived in the Bronx for a long time. It's time for the suburbs. I've done all I can do here..
As regards to a previous post. I'm only a 10 percent owner and the brothers have 90 percent. I HAVE NO SAY.
they were very very good to me and generous. When they found me I was just a bumbling waiter that had the gift of gab and a nervous condition that served me well in this business.. nothing is better then a bunch of hyper active Greeks knocking out orders..
The gentlemen who showed me how to cook was a sailor on Greek cargo ships who worked
I in the galley. Handlebar moustache and all.
I only know the basics, but do them well. I don't make crepes but if u want a French toast from home made challah bread with a side of thick cut bacon and real maple syrup or a tender beef stew with extra gravy and super soft russet potatoes and thick cut soft carrots. I'm your guy.
Or a Souvlaki actually marinated in real olive oil cooked to perfection with home made tzaziki source made from Greek yogurt, sour cream , dill, crushed cucumber and garlic. I'm your guy..
I'm not fancy but I only make real food from real ingredients and I don't go by Obama's nutritional menu. That shit would kill you, but I'm not in the mood to talk politics..
I do have to watch my mouth in.Jersey though. That will suck.
But leave new York I must..
My thoughts are racing.. sorry guys... I just wished I saved at least 150k more..

bro you're rambling.
I know dude, sorry pooh....
I'm soooo depressed or nervous or what have u.. I had it good and easy.. the brothers did all the heavy lifting. I just showed up for work and act like I own the place.lol
I'm also drunk.. did a couple of shots of Patron teq on the way home....
That's a year of income..
I should have saved more...
If .I had more in savings, I could open my spot without stressing...
"Georges real food, real fast" I already have a trade mark on that..
Do u think.it was the weed, the coke, the pills, the hookers , the top shelf alcohol lthe gambling or the hand full of twenty something girlfriends that did me in.

[QUOTE=thesparten;496178]well, i have a thread for you then
http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...ight=food+porn
get in there
"The Spartan"
Thin sliced roast beef on a real Italian hero(not subway) with bacon, sweet pepper, hot peporocino peppers, lett, tomatoes, onion, pickles and topped with a drizzle of real olive oil..
The roast beef will be restaurant cooked.
I tell the butcher to leave the fat on the bottom so when I cook it for 4 hours I baste it.
The bacon is from the butcher and I buy whole slabs and slice it myself. I make nice thick pieces.
I roast my own red peppers..
I don't count the slices of r.b. or bacon or the veggies. I just keep putting until it feels right and can serve it with pride.
U would be surprised. In Manhattan I charge 15$ which is kinda cheap.. but when they make one complaint I throw them out and send them to blimpies to.spend 7.50$ on there r.b. they always come back..
I won't do that in Jersey.. I would actually operate with no salery or profit until they understand the shtick and quality of my place...
I'd prefer to have fewer custermers who appreciate what I'm actually doing for them then a line of druffs(sorry druff)...
