It’s hard to spin a down economy as an opportunity. But the challenging retail environment has a bright side: Many operators are finding that it’s a great time to renegotiate a lease or to open a restaurant in a desirable neighborhood on the cheap.

Community Menu Design Make Over
I recently read an article about menu design in The New York Times. It's an interesting article and well worth your time reading.
After reading this article I started thinking about the need for restaurateurs to redesign their menus. I believe that most restaurateurs need outside feedback, but I know that menu consultants are very expensive and not always in touch with your site.

Chicken Kebabs
brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com
Calories 192; Total Fat 6g; Carbohydrates 3g
Marinating these chicken kebabs all day or overnight in a simple blend of yogurt and lemon juice makes them succulent and juicy, but the active cooking time is only about a half an hour, so they're a great quick dinner. Brightly colored turmeric is a potent antioxidant and a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for allergies. If the outdoor grill is covered with snow, these work just as well on an indoor grill or in the broiler. For a simple side, thread cipollini onions, red-pepper chunks, and mushrooms on a skewer and brush with olive oil to grill alongside the chicken.
