NBA City Closed

[graspthesun]

I wasn't knocking the popularity. I was just correcting the implication that soccer was a US export that is popular around the world like the NBA was posited to be.

I don't see the need for a sports restaurant replacing a sports restaurant when we have NBC SG opening this Fall. I'm indifferent when it comes to a chocolate factory too. There has to be other avenues to go down.

If the Chocolate Factory restaurant is similar to Sugar Factory it will be a hit

Are we talking Generic Chocolate Factory or with an IP like Willy Wonka?

They seemed very rushed to close when I was in there the second to last day. A lot of stuff had already been removed. One of the servers said the NBC grill was supposed to be finished September 1st and that they would immediately move to construction for the NBA replacement that day.

The replacement will have a bar as well as adjacent outdoor seating. There will also be a retail space as well.

From the permit application:

Looks like the chocolate factory idea is NOT going to happen.

^ it also mentions retail, so its likely for an IP that has desirable merch and not a generic concept or typical restaurant.

Or you know like an ice cream/milk shake bar. Just saying.

Maybe. But there is also mention of new cooking equipment including a pasta cooker. Unless we're making chocolate pasta...

Cheesecake factory has pasta, and a bar. Not saying this is cheesecake factory, but I guess it still could be a "chocolate factory" restaurant.

As Homer Simpson would say, "Chocolate Pasta, yummmmmy"

 

[s8film40]

Is there any restaurant that doesn't have pasta in some form or another?

 

[Teebin]

Perhaps it is a Ghirardelli chocolate company franchise, And maybe the Ghirardelli tower will be removed from San Fran so as not to compete with Kings Cross. I just hope the facade for this place is over the top wild and different. That is a difficult location in which to survive. A no-mans land.

Cowfish, Antojitos...

 

[canobie#1]

A massive Ben & Jerry's would be awesome. They could do factory tours and everything.

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

The mention of chocolate pasta just reminded me of that very thing that was a trend back in the mid 90s. Does anyone else remember chocolate ravioli?

DANG IT PEOPLE. WATCH MORE HOCKEY.

You get your food served to you while getting cross checked into the boards. Then it's an Animal House style food fight. Sounds good to me.
