My favorite was a bread pudding shop. That’s all they served, bread pudding, you had 4 flavors of hot bread pudding and 3 flavor of cold bread pudding.

The problem with a lot of these types of things is that they aren’t thought out well, and don’t come from a place that makes any good sense. In this instance, bread pudding originates from restaurants utilizing food waste in stale bread that would otherwise become bread crumbs or be thrown away. It’s a way to make more profit on top of other food markups and dishes that draw people in, cross utilization that minimizes the biggest cost in the food business, food waste. It’s their lack of food knowledge that is at play here.

It’s for this reason that I think people really do not put in the amount of research it takes to get a concept off the ground and make it successful.
