We had the opportunity to talk to Kevin Alexander, who published
a 3-part series on the Restaurant Bubble recently on Thrillist.com
-- reporting on the factors converging to create big problems for
restaurants all over the US. From a glut of talent and
investment money, with a dearth of resources to staff kitchens
properly, there aren't enough eaters and cooks out there to support
this explosion. Local restaurateur Kurt Huffman offers his
perspectives regarding celebrity chefs, labor pools, compensation
and tipping policies, as we once again delve into the challenges
facing the industry. San Francisco's Jim Angelus shares his
recent experiences at his Bacon Bacon franchise, and how smaller
might be more manageable and profitable.
