That, and the apparent original intent to run it as an "incubator" rather than a long-term operation, although i wish they had been more candid about that from the start.

I'd say those guys were trying their best to channel a serious Japanese ramen shop, including making fresh noodles to order (albeit with a Kitchenaid pasta-maker attachment); and yeah, that's a lot more labor-intensive than fried chicken, subs or pizza. Also, running long hours late into the night and serving the Baxter Avenue Drinking Community might have made it both fun and ... interesting. They were serious, very serious, about quality, and I can understand their wish to have an appropriate payday.
