No way this place is licensed. The producer that selected this place should be fired. A candy shop in Texas. A bowling alley/bar. Pinball arcade? Huh? Get real Marc Summers.<br /><br /><br />It would be a better show if Robert arrived and could determine whether to invest $10k or walk away from some of these jerks and bank the money for additional spends on deserving owners.texzillanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-74598494720976176072015-05-26T18:50:58.943-04:002015-05-26T18:50:58.943-04:00I just hope they don't overdo the "quirki...I just hope they don't overdo the "quirkiness" factor...I think once every couple of episodes is fine, but if it becomes the "combo of the week" type of thing again I will probably start tuning out the show.<br /><br /><br />I'm really surprised Robert went ahead with the remodel of the Cafe, considering the owner seemed to have a know it all attitude despite not even intending to open a cafe.David Rofulowitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-66265142784647547582015-05-21T16:06:44.716-04:002015-05-21T16:06:44.716-04:00Hopefully Marc Summers and the rest of the product...Hopefully Marc Summers and the rest of the production crew will realize that they had some gems in this short season -- where they focused on people who genuinely are trying to run a restaurant -- and will avoid making completely massive bullcrap episodes like this one.<br /><br />Like others have said, this show has shown some great examples of what a restaurant should NOT look like or what a kitchen should NOT look like, so stop wasting film and production time on them... if these folks won't clean or fix anything, to hell with 'em.Mike S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-80762661258617625962015-05-18T21:52:18.389-04:002015-05-18T21:52:18.389-04:00I disagree completely.

Let's fix it anyway!' :p In the end, I dunno. When things are running smoothly in those parts, there are a LOT of dining options. Their food better be really, really good, because I doubt it's any different than anywhere else. Regardless, I wish them well. <br /><br />The barber shop looked classy, especially with that great photo/mural. :) I like it when they do that. (the pics at The Trails Eatery also come to mind) The restaurant looked nice in two-tone and the lack of clutter was good. That one customer was right in that it doesn't look like a living room anymore. Heh. Both places looked dark, but probably aren't as dark in person as they are on TV. I think that could be said about a lot of places they do.<br /><br /><br /><br />P.S. I don't think I've seen Robert as uncomfortable and/or perturbed with someone as he was with Tommye in a while. He seemed a little off even the next day when they were doing their one-on-one business plan and whatnot. Did anyone else feel that way?Ripplinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-13698239253967272112015-05-14T18:37:30.176-04:002015-05-14T18:37:30.176-04:00I would honestly like to open one of those.
