A vegan soul food restaurant, well it would be interesting if nothing else, but I am not sure how much demand there would be for one.. How many soul foods are totally vegan?
It's more about making vegan versions of soul food, if that makes sense.
I follow someone on Instagram who blogs pictures of her vegan creations and they look quite tasty, and she's had success in having Black people try her vegan creations. She hosts a pop-up in her city.
In spite of the image that vegans are nothing but a bunch of white people, there are vegans of color; like me, for example.
Look up Soul Veg, they are a vegan soul food chain.
I would open a really, really good sandwich and soup restaurants. I would offer just a couple of soups, one being split pea cause it is my favorite and I have been told I make blue ribbon quality but who knows, that is just my family and friends talking: I would probable also have a lighter soup, like a chicken base one. Then I would have a daily special. As for sandwiches, I again, would only offer a few kinds, one being a great French dip, one being a vegetarian one, maybe a good egg salad or just a basic cuke and avocado type (maybe 2 veggie ones) and I would serve one hot sandwich and one more cold one. To me, the simpler the menu, the better the quality can be. Oh, and I would not use processed meats. I would start from scratch early every morning.
I want you to move near me and open that restaurant.
Your has good variety; a meat eater can go there but a vegetarian can too. Most places are either-or. You also provide the non processed meats which are the only ones I'll touch. Bacon with nitrates? No thanks.
It's a crazy notion, but sometimes you want a specific food/dish/meal that just isn't available in your area. Perhaps you traveled to a city that had some amazing Indian food (for example), but alas, your town does not have Indian. Or perhaps they have an Indian place, but it's just not good/doesn't haveh the dishes you like. Or maybe there is a popular chain that you love and wish you had in your town.
So what if you had the money and/or resources to open up a restaurant in your area (or a copy of a restaurant) just so that it's there. What would you open? What other restaurant would be your inspiration?
Funnily enough if it were for my tastes alone I would open an Indian restaurant, specifically Singaporean Indian food and it would specialise in Roti Prata/Canai. While we do have a handful of places that sell this dish here, but it is nothing compared to what you get in southeast Asia.
As for a fast food chain I'd really like MOS Burger to open here, love their Teriyaki Chicken burgers.
...I would not use processed meats. I would start from scratch early every morning.
I can see you chasing chickens, pigs, and cows around the barnyard every morning before you open .
Along the same lines... There's a burger joint in Siler City, North Carolina called Johnson's. He grinds his own fresh beef every morning and sells cheeseburgers until he runs-out - usually around 2:00PM. And when I say fresh - the beef is never frozen because it comes from the Siler City Stockyard where they auction the cows on Mondays.
BTW - Johnson's isn't open on Mondays, I wonder why .
Good BBQ and a family style authentic Italian restaurant, not just a pizza joint.
