Restaurants and People #4

32 more restaurants--just glancing over the pictures I know 6-7 have already closed (1 a week after they opened!) Most admit we have eaten in a wide range of foods and restaurants from fast food to fast casual to 5 star dining from Brazilian to Indian to Italian, American, Thai, Mexican and a lot more to go. I think it is nice of me to test restaurants before visitors come to Fort Lauderdale so they know which to go to and which to not go to and waste their time and money! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QalaOe01IuA

What an awful chore, testing out restaurants for your visitors. That's going above and beyond the call of duty. I salute you sir.

It is sad when restaurants don't make it.

@GreatMartin Is it because they can't keep up with the rent? Some cities have high rents for restaurants.

@LeaPea2417 Plus many don't have enough money for the first two years--they think they will open and make money every day but the first year they are lucky if they break even

Word of mouth always helps while eating out.
