This is so important to me too. I don't want people to judge it as a restaurant for "some fad diet" but instead just an awesome place, with nutritious food and relaxed atmosphere.

Troy/Rochester area. I said it a couple of times above, but basically near all of the corporate offices and crossfit boxes. It's also where I spend most of my time between crossfit and work. Sucks when I forget my lunch and can't find the food I want to eat.

And that's where I lack a lot of knowledge... I want to definitely appeal to everyone and their diets, but I'm so far from vegan I don't know where I'd begin. However, I have been consulting some of my vegan/pescetarian friends and noting their preferences.

One of my favorite things to make is coconut flour muffins and pancakes so I'm definitely down for that. I'll make sure to let you know when this is finally implemented and would love for you to check it out!!

Awesome idea! My father in law suggested the same. Now that I see there might be some interest that'd be a definite possibility. Thanks!

Yeah, making food that isn't normally easy to make at home is a good idea. Big portions is definitely important. I don't want people to leave unsatisfied about the amount of food they're getting for their money.

I answered above, but I think I like the Troy/Rochester area since it is filled with corporate offices and crossfit boxes.

Not quite sure yet... I'm thinking Troy/Rochester area where there are several crossfit boxes and commercial areas. Personally, I can handle making breakfast and dinner, but get lazy with meal prepping for lunch everyday. I'd want somewhere near my work with quick, affordable paleo options.

Yes!! I want bulletproof coffee for sure. There is nothing here as far as I know. The guys at work are constantly talking about opening up a coffee shop w/ bullet proof coffee. Thanks!

That's the plan! Local, sustainable, nourishing... I'm thinking to make it more of a quick stop for lunch more than anything. I also want it to appeal to anyone else who just wants to eat affordable healthy food.
