What style of restaurant does this town need?

I know this thread has moved on from my comments, but just thought I'd share this link, since it shows I'm in good company (click on #3 on his list):

Alright everyone so I made it to Bank Street! THANK YOU!

Sorry I dropped out of the discussion ... but glad you made it over and everything was good.

Hi to the forum! I am Carolyne's boyfriend (Louis) and she has been so kind as to allow me to use her name for a few comments. Carolyne was sharing comments from the forum regarding diners and me being from New York and New Jersey (where the best diners exist!) I was compelled to make a few comments. First, as in all things, there are good dinners, poor excuses for a dinner, and diners that are the bench mark for all to follow.
A diner is where you can literally peruse 100's of selections of good food, quickly, 24 hrs a day, seven days a week. It is an oasis, day or night where, basically, if they don't make it, it doesn't exist. While it is true that at one time you couldn't find one heathy item on the menu, things have changed in that area. A truly great diner is a state of mind experience which is enjoyed as much at 3am as 2pm. It has to be a 24/7 thing to be for real. That's the secret. There is no space/time continuum in a diner. Bada bing, bada boom!

Hi guys.....Carolyne here.....I am being held hostage in an abandonminimum in the Bronx, waiting for Chinese carry out to arrive......Ahhh, such as it is to live with a New Yorker. (Who, BTW, is of Puerto Rican dissent) LOL! I actually have dreams of an all breakfast and dessert diner in downtown....anyone want to go in with me? Seriously.....

I think a true Yakitori restaurant would be cool. Charcoal grill right there at the counter cooking up meat on a stick.

Churascaria!

Yes! I totally agree! We really enjoyed our first experience whith this a few weeks back at Fogo de Chao in Indianapolis. Really good service, and the food was outstanding. I had my doubts, but have always wanted to try one of these places and came away quite impressed with everything. Also found it to be an Outstanding value! 45 bucks a person for all you cared to to eat? Heck, a steak alone with no sides will put you back near that at most of the local upscale steak joints. I surmise that if we ever got one of these establishments here, at least two or three steakhouses would be run out of business.
