Let’s start your restaurant legacy right now, right here! National chains and single independent restaurants all started with an individual and an idea. A concept. A dream. Small ideas can grow into big business. Who would have thought that a guy with a milkshake machine could start a hamburger empire? A pizza made in a garage would start today’s pizza wars? A guy with a pressure-cooker would start a fried chicken phenomena? Business ownership has always been part of the all-American dream. Restaurants are the largest entrepreneurial opportunity in America for starting the dream.

Ten Restaurants That Changed America reveals how the history of our restaurants reflects nothing less than the history of America itself. Whether charting the rise of our love affair with Chinese food through San Francisco's the Mandarin, evoking the richness of Italian food through Mamma Leone's, or chronicling French haute cuisine through Henri Soulé's Le Pavillon, Paul Freedman uses each restaurant to tell a story of race and class, immigration and assimilation.

Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touchpoints in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty takes listeners to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine.

A food truck business can be exceptionally gainful as countless people consistently eat at versatile diners. Rather than trusting that customers will go to your business, you can go to where they are and draw them in with a one-of-its-kind exhibit of delicious dishes. You can begin and run a food truck business with impressively less staff than what you would require to run an ordinary restaurant. It is, likewise, more affordable and includes lower overhead costs when contrasted with a traditional restaurant business.

If food excites you as much as it does me, you just might be a foodie. And in today's food-centered world, there is serious money to be made with your passion. Food consumption has really changed in the past decade, and now more than ever, people want to know what's in their food, where it came from and who made it. That's bad news for businesses that mass produce food, but great news for those in the cottage food industry.

Publisher's Summary
"When we consider a project, we really study it - not just the surface idea but everything about it. And when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to do the best possible job." (Walt Disney)
Have you ever wanted to start a small business?
Have you ever thought it was tough to do so?
Unsure of how to get it started?
I completely understand your confusion and fears. There's so much information out there on the Internet and so many self-help gurus that it either takes time to put all the information together or you have to pay top dollar to have a guru explain it to you.
My name is Susan Kilmer, and I am the author of this "starting a business" guide. Over the course of my business and entrepreneurship background, I have taught hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs how to start a business and business owners how to keep their businesses going, and the one thing they have all said at one time or another is, "I wish there was some manual or guide that would walk me through the steps of what I need to know to start and operate my business."
I listened, and I did it. I created this concise guide on how you can start a business.
It's not just any guide. It takes you through several things, including:
- How to assess yourself. Are you truly prepared?
- How to develop a strong business idea.
- How to research if your business idea could fit.
- Understanding a business plan.
- Business loans and funding options: What do banks want?
- How do I start, and what permits and licenses do I need?
- Do I need to incorporate?
- And much more!

Terrible narrator.
This has pretty basic but good information. My problem with it was the Narrator. I felt like I was being yelled at the whole time I listened. It was not the kind of voice that helped me to get engaged and pay attention to the topic.

Quite basic, consists of several books which overlap a lot. Content is very basic and general, it does outline useful principles though.
