BISTRO COMFORT, DELICIOUS AND TASTEFUL THE BEST IN HIS WAY
So what is considered a chinese restaurant? From a Modern Asian Restaurant, a Thai, a Viet., Japanese restaur?
There’s a chinese takeout restaurant with a execlusive "No other Chinese restaurant within the same shopping center". But what is considered a Chinese Restaurant? Must be chinese to cook? Must have chinese writings? What is legally a chinese restaurant?
I don’t know what the legal definition of a Chinese restaurant is… except you would expect the type of food you would see in any Chinese restaurant – just look at their menu.
Now if you open a Japanese restaurant and served yakisoba (which is very similar to chow mein) and gyoza (which is similar to Chinese potstickers) is that a violation? It’s hard to say… to me they are legitimate Japanese dishes, but probably have ancient origins from China.
It would be up to the lawyers and a judge (if it goes that far) as to what is a Chinese restaurant.
From my example, I would think those two would be different even if they served a few similar dishes since they are serving legitimate dishes from their respective cuisines.

Is it possible to start a restaurant with no experience?
I have what I think is a great idea — a restaurant that specializes in salads to cater to the lunch crowd. I’d love to open a restaurant, but I have no experience outside of a fast food job I got fired from. Is it possible to start a successful restaurant with no experience, or is this just a pipe dream?
It’s possible to do anything, if you invest your time in it. To understand some of the permits and licenses you’ll need alongside with federal requirements, check out the link provided. Since each state is different, it would be best to contact your state to see what you’ll need to clear your business for launch.
The next part is to get your business started, which costs money. If you think about it, you’ll have to buy or rent the building your business will operate out of, provide all of the things needed in a salad bar (tables, seats, chillers, etc…), along with paying taxes, employee salary, and purchasing the food from some sort of vendor. It’s a long laundry list of stuff, but you can see that to make money, you must first spend that money.
How you go about getting that money to start up is usually done in two ways; either through an Investor(s) or through a loan. An investor is someone that is going to invest money in you to get your business set up and running. This can be a family member, friend, or even a private investor. The other way is through a loan, which you’ll be responsible for paying back over time, just like college loans or credit cards.
If you happen to get the money to start up your business, and you’ve cleared everything with the state and the government, you’re pretty much set. Again, you’ll need to purchase or rent available space to have a building to operate out of and purchase all of the things to put into this building which will be your salad bar. You’ll obviously need to hire employees and create a staff to operate and maintain your business. Also, you’ll probably want to have somebody to cover you legally and someone to help you keep up on your taxes, finances, spending, earnings, etc…
Most small businesses fail within the first year. I don’t say this to scare you but more to encourage and enlighten you. Don’t be afraid to try something, even if others don’t understand it.
Starting up a small business can be fun but you also should do some research to find out more about the industry you’re getting into. You don’t have to have experience to do any of this, but it generally might help if you had some unique and interesting ideas, especially when you’re proposing your business idea to a potential investor.
This isn’t everything of course, there are plenty of other things that didn’t get covered here. I would suggest you do more research on it yourself, so you learn at your own pace. I hope this helped, remember to check out the link below.
Remember, if you really put the time and effort into this, it’s possible. Best of luck.

where in Chicago is a good bakery for some good homemade bread?
I want to find a little bakery that has a wide selection of different handmade breads. I’m tired of going to jewel for the mediocre bread.
Red Hen on Milwaukee in Bucktown/WP does great work.

How to ask a restaurant to pay for my medical bills?
I went to a restaurant on Sunday with my girlfriend. At the restaurant I ordered medium rare steak and french fries with some broccoli, and my girlfriend had some BBQ ribs and frenc fries.
After we ate, I took her back to her place and I went straight home. When I went home I had a fever of 102 and I have headaches. So, I didn’t took anything but tylenol and went to sleep. On monday I still feel very nauseated and have really bad headaches. In the afternoon I started to vommit and have another high fever. I tried to eat small food and I can’t because I kept vomitting it back. This continues on to tuesday morning and afternoon while I was in school. After I got back from school I finally vomitted again this time with blood. I finally went to the emergency room.
So, I know that I got sick right after I ate at that restaurant and i couldn’t eat anything afterwards because I kept vomitting. What should I tell the restaurant so that they pay the medical bills from the ER?
My daughter got food poisoning when vacationing this past summer after eating at a nice restaurant. We spent 10 hours in the ER because of vomiting and diarrhea. Diarrhea is part of it. No fever and no headache was involved. The doctor said with food poisoning that the normal time for symptoms to start is 6 hours after eating. That is the normal time he said. We did notify the restaurant and the health department but we did not ask them to pay the bill. I don’t think you have a case of food poisoning. Sounds like you had a stomach virus. Don’t expect the restaurant to pay the bill.

How much do caterers usually cost for weddings?
I am having my wedding in June 2010 and I live in Canada, Calgary-Alberta, and im just wondering what a ball park guess is for caterers. I am having about 100-120 people at my wedding. I would also like to have a buffet style, and not steak or anything, just the plain chicken and potatoes or something.. I am going to start calling around but im just trying to make my budget Thanks a bunch.
I don’t know if you have your venue yet, but I’m from Calgary and am getting married this July. Alpine Catering is very reasonable and I’ve heard good things, except my Aunt, who works for another catering copany in Calgary recently worked on a function with them and wasn’t very impressed.
I’m getting married out in Deadman’s Flats and I have the same size guest list as you and my budget is modest. If you haven’t found a venue yet and like the idea of getting married out in the mountains check out www.banffgatemountainresort.com. They have a decent hall and rent it out for just over $1000 (it might go up for next year I’m not sure).
They let you find your own caterer and set up your own bar, so if you choose to have a cash bar you don’t have worry about that cost. Either way though it will be much less expensive then paying for the drinks through a hotel.
Then if you go through Bow Valley catering in Canmore they offer a buffet with roast beef and chicken for $30/person and that includes the taxes and the gratuity. Again though the price might go up a little by next year. They seem to have a very good reputation.
Hope this helps, good luck!!

How many restaurants in the US have televisions?
I’m looking for some statistics around how many of the 945,000 restaurants actually have at least on television in their establishment.
Who cares. I don’t go to a restaurant to watch TV. I go to enjoy a nice meal out with my wife or friends or both. I also enjoy the fact that my wife doesn’t have to cook or clean up after the meal.
Why don’t you do some Research on good places to eat at a reasonable price instead of how many TVs are in a restaurant.

how to make those chocolate fruit shells you see on the bakery section of the grocery store?
i was recently at my local heb store and while shopping their bakery section i noticed this chocolate shells, looked like chocolate "cups" filled with fruits. how do they make these "cups"? and also how do they make the fruit appear so glossy?
the chocolate cups are actually just that, chocolate cups. i make mine with candy mold and melted choc. if you dont have any molds you can use a cupcake paper and just paint it with melted choc, when it has cooled peel the paper off and voila- chocolate cup.
and the fruit, if you put fruit in a bowl mix with a couple tblspoons of sugar(no liquid) and let it sit for a while the sugar will raw the pectin out of the fruit and make it shiny and "pie"tasting.

Are there any reception halls that allow outside caterers around the Chicago IL area?
How about the top of the Harold Washington Library, the main branch for Chicago Public Libraries. The view is great and you furnish the caterers or they can recommend someone.
