Evidently the new owner thought to himself "Last guy not know how to run Asian buffet. I show him how"
That burger and fries photo might be the most unappetizing food image I've ever seen. If it weren't for the caption declaring it to be The H'Burger at Red Door Grill I would have assumed it was a stock photo and was meant to depict a food you hate. That photo belongs on a Cracked.com article, not on a Pitch restaurant article.
P.S. My friend thought the photo of the dessert was showing a "lump of butter." Way to make us NOT want to try a new restaurant.
if there wasn't so many stupid people willing to pay $25 for hamburger and fries, places like this wouldn't be able to keep their doors open. seriously, what's wrong with people.
You know what would work much better than the old failed asian buffet? An asian buffet. Genius.
Midwesterners seem to have confused bagels with muffins -- BAGELS ARE NOT SWEET. Breuggers was the only place in KC where you could get a salt bagel with lox. Heaven.
Is Corner Bakery coming to Corbin Park?
Every time I see "A'Teezers" "S'Wiches" and such on a menu I imagine someone getting A'Tazered
I liked their bagels a lot but it was a long(er) drive for me. It wasn't a very good spot and maybe an unfamiliar (to many) brand didn't help.
Disgusted, I can agree with your post 100%. I too have no vested interest in this, except for wishing the tax base to be expanded, but the one thing you have to admire is the savvy with which the NIMBYs have approached it. I suspect we have people in marketing, in consulting, no doubt a lawyer (or several) in this group. The one thing that gets me is the use of MASSIVE (and huge, giant, etc.), because this is no more massive than the CVS is a big box store, to cite a recent example. I wonder where all these people were when the plans were made for the facility at the corner of Belinder and Somerset. The answer is that their oxen weren't being gored then, so they didn't care. This is classic hypocrisy, but it doesn't matter. That one is done, and the proposed one is on life support, not long for this world.
Savvy, I'm sure they splash ketchup all over a piece of marble at your table. It's called food staging.
The reason is maybe because of Corner Bakery.
What is up with that burger picture? Please tell me that is not how the burger is served.
Gulliver, they don't want the face the truth that this more about class than anything else Not once has anyone expressed concern for those who live in the apartments to the north or west of the site instead we're arguing around the impacts to 6-8 homes.
For the record I live in PV, not in the area around MV. I have zero financial interest except hoping to see a large piece of land in our city redeveloped in a way that provides long term financial benefit to our city. I do not work in construction, long term care, or real estate. So anyone who wants to imply otherwise can step off.
Also I'm disgusted because NO ONE from MVNA will even begin to say what they would consider an acceptable proposal to use that land. WHY WILL NO ONE ANSWER THIS SIMPLE QUESTION?!?!? I say because they are afraid to. Chickens
Unfortunately the recent history in PV says that we won't do things that will bring to our city or increase our tax base or make it attractive to families. But if you dare to say that the NIMBY crowd jumps out of the wood work. We have the city council we deserve and it isn't one that is going to take bold action on anything.
One of the most effective and rightous ways to deal with unfair and tyrannical government personnel, is to catch them alone with no witnesses, and get Medieval.
Why has no one covered the shots fired inside Empire room club last night 5/12?? 3 shots fired INSIDE the club and chaos getting out.
Happy Hour - BEER
Do they serve liquor?
Hey, perplexed, I don't know who is for it, if anyone in PV, and I never said I did. I said the majority could care less. The point is that the neighbors and maybe a few others don't want it so it won't happen. By the way, what do those in the proximity stand to lose? There is plenty of space here for this proposal and you would hardly know it was there, except when those rowdy seniors had MASSIVE keg parties, with all of their senior friends coming over and parking on the street, peeing on lawns, and making a nuisance of themselves.
@hippiehawk, bite it. @ dave, as a fairly "pro-gun liberal" (yes we exist) I have to agree with you %100. I like my guns, but I dislike the NRA.
Re: “Pan-Asian buffets: You just can't have too many of them”
Considering they're serving the same things, I wonder if they just slightly changed ownership. Did it "fail" or did the old owner just need to get out of business for some reason, I wonder.
