Ok, then - Soul Food/BBQ Hybrid, it is!
But what will we call it? "Bar-B-Soul" sounds a bit too much like cheap shaving cream.....so how about "Soul-B-Que"?!?
Bugaboo Creek steakhouse might be cool. Tons of AA moose, bison, racoons and fish, each with a comedy routine at various times. Perhaps because the franchise is primarily in New England, it wouldn't be a hit in Orlando. The food is kinda Outback Steakhouse like. Far superior to Rainforest and those franchises.
Hey! There used to be one of those by me. To me, the food was better than Outback. I really loved their BBQ, my favorite was the BBQ Chicken Nachos. I would be thrilled if that came. Great food, lots fun.
How about a ski lodge themed fondue restaurant? Families love fondue restaurants.
Okay, it seems that I'm the minority, and will actually miss NASCAR Grille. That place was by far the best location to catch sports on property. Now all we have is that joke NBA City! As a sports fan, I digged the atmosphere. The menu was decent, and they actually had pretty good drink prices. While I absolutely love the idea of a BBQ restaurant, I don't want it at this location. Again, minority here, but I would like to see this spot kept as a sports bar/grille. An officially-branded NFL restaurant and bar would be ideal, but I'll take anything sports-related not labeled NBA City.
I love a good sports bar, NASCAR Grille isn't one. I would like to see a new NBC Sports branded concept (similar to the NBC Sports Arena concept at the Spectrum in Philly) that is a little more upscale. The best sports bar I have ever been to is the ESPNZone in Denver. Maybe something like this.
And just past the tables in front of the screens they have these.
"I've just had an apostrophe"
I'll get back to you guys in a minute.
OK, I was going to draw/scan a picture, but I don't think that's necessary.
So what would you guys think of "Comcast Xfinity Lounge"?
It would be a cross between a sports bar like ESPNZone and AMC's Fork and Screen only much larger. It would be tiered like a movie theater with alternating rows of recliners like one's in my eairlier post and semicircular booths. In the back would be long tables for larger parties and of course........the Bar! In the front would be one movie theater sized screen surrounded by smaller screens and sports tickers. There would be screens EVERYWHERE around the room. Each booth would have it's own 21" touchscreen screen to watch TV and order. The place would be saturated in Wi-Fi and each table would have a central charging station.
The reason why I think Comcast is a better branding that just NBC Sports is the Comcast brand is all inclusive. Not just NBC Sports, but ESPN, FOX Sports, ABC Sports etc. And it also opens the place up for other TV events like Walking Dead Season Finale Watch Parties, Academy Awards Watch Parties.
