Despite the one million options for opening a restaurant, we went with the same concept: an Italian pizzeria and restaurant.
I've been loving the new location and the new neighborhood, that also includes an array of benefits that makes this location so efficient and better, in my opinion.
But the matter of this article is actually what went on when we were in search of equipment for our new place...
Well, as we were going from one restaurant equipment store to another, we ended up meeting so many guys in the biz and we got specs on every type of restaurant out there. One comment caught my attention though.
One of the warehouses we visited takes in used equipment on trade or consignment and recondition it for re-sale. By asking the benefits of buying used rather than new, we verged into what kind of restaurant is dirty or not... So, our equipment guy told us how the Chinese, especially those buffets, are THE dirtiest motherF*ers out there, hands down.
Then, it got me thinking, I eat Chinese from time to time, but I don't live on it. And when I do go to an Asian place, I eat Japanese food (sushi)... So, is there in my mind a subconscious fear of that food.
We all know the Chinese will eat pretty much anything with protein (except for people), but is their cuisine so mixed and complex to disguise all the "creativeness" in it?
The complexity and choppiness of the Chinese food makes me skeptical of the quality of the contents in it, and nowadays, more than ever, I admire the courage of those people and, as I said before, their creativity to transform the extraordinary into something of their ordinary days.
