Many people dream of their own restaurant. Also...many don't understand how hard it is to get funding for your own venture.  Banks don't LOVE restaurant ventures for various reasons. Most people know how hard they are to run, high failure rate, incredible competition, etc...

I hope you get some value here, thanks for listening, and share if you get inspired! :::::::::::::::::: A series of moments with me, Chef Tony Marciante.
