re: What does Baton Rouge need?

Yeah that was the first thing that came to mind with all of this. It’s why I’m not going fine dining and looking for something more towards low overhead and fast casual. I can train anyone to make a damn sandwich, but I’m done trying to trust someone to make a beurre blanc

Everything in house. Would like to do fresh bread, but may not. All depends. Really just getting opinions on what the are needs/wants

Not looking to do BBQ. My niche is definitely house pickles, charcuterie, boudin and sausages. But can’t stress enough, I want to stay away from a BBQ joint type place. I’m not well versed and the cost is going to continue to climb. Really want to limit the use of “beef” as much as I can for cost purposes

That’s really helpful! I’m not dead set on it. It would be my preference, but I’m not going to ignore a better chance for maximum profits because I want to be stubborn and think everyone wants what I want

Hey yall, longtime lurker. Im in a position to have the opportunity to open up something in the next 2 years. I’m moving from Florida to the BR area for family….go figure. Anyways, I’ve got 12 years as a chef in fine dining, but have been out of the industry for 5 years. Leaning towards something of a meat maket, sandwich concept similar to Iverstines. Breakfast concept to maximize profit, and some sort of NY style Deli. Any and all suggestions are encouraged.
TLDR. I want to open something in the service industry, what would succeed in BR?
