I am kind of bummed by the number of little local restaurants that keep closing. It is said that our lousy economyis making it so hard for such places to stay in business, offering fresh, healthy cuisine as an alternative to fast food, frozen beef-like “meat” and that strange, bitter, red berryish fruit from South America that certain mega-retailers label as strawberries. If you’re thinking of opening your own bistro, I say go for it. Make me something speical and fresh and full of love and I will happily try it. And if looking for restaurant equipment at RapidsWholesale.com fails, there are probably two or three spots with gently and lovingly used gear you can check out.

Sigh.
