I don't know why of all days today, but I managed to peek in through the gates (I think those covered in the past) and this is what I saw:

Franklin Roadhouse?

Hasn't it outgrown its reputation as the place that took over the Roadhouse? We must be giving the Franklin Roadhouse too much credit. </blockquote> I waited patiently for you to act on your desires, but now have done it on my own..... Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to present the new thread for the now established Mayfield Restaurant: <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/mayfield-restaurant-688-franklin?replies=1#post-765460" rel="nofollow">http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/mayfield-restaurant-688-franklin?replies=1#post-765460</a> Follow it for a link to a NYT review saying how yummy it is!

Thanks, but I'll stick to my 9-5. I have worked for small businesses before and they are far too much work and risk for my tastes.

I spent most of my life south of EP it will be like being reunited with old friends again. Money never was never a factor in my dealings with people rich or poor. I also would like to say to other business people to look south of EP. The rents are much cheaper and unlike the north side, it is very under serviced leaving lots of room for new businesses of all types. If anyone wishes to speak to me I will make myself availible to discuss business opportunities along Franklin and beyond

Many of them seem to love salad, so you might want to have a by the pound ready to eat salad section and some stools for folks to eat at. Good profit margins there.

on a similar thread, pulp and bean wrote on Feb 26, 2013: <blockquote><cite>pulpandbean <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/maimans-pharmacy#post-764937">said</a>:</cite> The first step was opening the law office (now open) . The second step is opening The pulp and the bean prob 3wks to a month away. And third, will be opening b&b. This will be abit longer but the project is still active. </blockquote> When you open Bob and Betty's II, will it be similar to Bob and Betty's I? How will it be different?

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is opening in March

I'm looking forward to trying it. Their Harlem location is so out of the way that it will be nice to have them in Brooklyn.

While waiting for Dino to open, you might try Fletcher's barbecue at 3rd Avenue b/n 7th and 8th Streets. We thought it was really good. But get there early... at about 7 pm it gets crowded and they start to run out of meats.

I'm glad this is still happening. I was wondering why it looked like nothing was going on.

Franklin Roadhouse?

If you think that's a good idea, go for it. I'll post my quasi-news updates on it instead.
