Corn dog truck. Not crap corn dogs but really good ones with custom made meats and batters. Custom dipping sauces...

I think a hot dog joint with all types of regional and international variations might to well if executed properly.


My mother in law always said she should open a hot dog place next to every Hooters restaurant and call it Peckers. She was going to have Chip n Dale type waiters.

Sorry I am more familiar with the cartoon characters and not what male strippers call themselves. I can tell you are an expert on male strippers.

I'd find an office park that has no cafe or lunch options nearby and buy a small space and do to-go sandwiches, soups, salad, coffee, etc.

This. Do breakfast and lunch and then call it a day.

Buy a couple well place Subways or Jimmy Johns. Those clean up in the right place.

I'd franchise a Pluckers in New Orleans. Granted it's almost impossible to open a restaurant in New Orleans, but the choices of decent wings are few and far between in the city.

This made me chuckle.

I'd say two would be R2R diner in commercial area- I'm guessing like what's the joint on Exchequer which is soon to be a City Pork.

And the bread bakery.

Can all of these be done for 100k? You know that doesn't go a long way.

Some of these ideas are not reflective of the parameters.


That's the point. He's a lot like a lot of us on this board. Love to eat, drink and cook and probably pretty good at it but I'd be willing to bet not a half dozen on this site could do it right and make money. And the key is making money- even if it takes time, which is the beauty of having a dollar amount that you didnt borrow from friends, family or bank or have to make it to live on. Invest it and take your time. But I think some of these suggestions would cost more than a hundred grand.

And BR had a couple Buds Broilers years ago that didn't make it. I think the burger market, like Mexican and sushi is way too crowded. I'd look for something safer.

I think bread.

Open a snowball stand. Put a camera up to monitor thievery. 100% cash business with a big margin and tiny overhead.

And you could do that for 25k tops including building and equipment. Seasonal though so what do you do in off-season to maximize the building?

Fish... Haha. I mean there's really not much you have to do. You are probably only closed 4 months a year any way.

There's a great market for doughnuts around here thanks to all the fatasses.

Flour, sugar, water, oil, fryers, a couple ovens, some cute racks, and some chicks that can make and serve coffee. All doable for 100k.
