Man, oh man. I had a wonderful week off of school. I cooked every day. I went downtown almost every day. The East Village area is really coming along well. Which is good, yes? Yes. Especially since my newest project (I'm secretly referring to it as Project Fucktonofwork) involves designing and planning a restaurant inside and out, from start to opening, complete with budget, decor, kitchen, and interior design.
Today, some of my fellow classmates and I went to scout out commercial property in the area. We settled on a really awesome place at 921 Market, which offers us just over 4,800 square feet of real estate right smack near the division of the Gaslamp and East Village districts. Blocks away from the ballpark, right under luxury condos (which are, surprisingly, mostly occupied), and near shopping.
You know, all the planning that a new restaurant involves is staggering. I mean that. I never could've possibly imagined how much work goes into all of this. My only worry at this point is that I'm going to get so carried away that I'll end this project wishing that I had the means to make this a reality. We've got a really great idea and I'll share more details with you (not that anyone reads this, right?) as the project continues. Right now I don't have enough time to begin going into much detail. 2 weeks. 4 students. 1 restaurant. Combine that with the fact that one of my partners doesn't want to put in any work and another has me worried... well, let's say that I'm just shy of freaking the fuck out. Whelmed? Overwhelmed. Beyond overwhelmed. Thank god one of my partners has her head on straight and is capable of taking this seriously.
I've got a kitchen full of equipment to shop for. I should be buying lottery tickets, but my cynical side says not to waste money on them.
