None of the above crap.

Maybe pasta or grilled food, if it's not an American restaurant (processed ingredients in the kitchen)

Lentil bean & shredded potato burger would be great on a french bread poorboy, ,mayo, mustard & cajun seasoning!
Or the lentil soup, nicely seasoned with some good french bread or pistolet bread! Pistolet is a small french bread, single serving size, kind of triangular shape, dusted with cornmeal.
In cajun country, you can get pistolets stuffed with all sorts of food, crawfish etouffee, boudin, shrimp (I will eat no seafood, period, since the Gulf disaster), but you could stuff with lentils, thick creamy foods, etc. and they deep fry them or you can bake them. Yumm, yumm, yumm.

Stuff you can get in Whole Foods deli, I live too far to go very often, 3 hour drive.

Re: Market Research - PLEASE HELP - POLL - What Is Your Favorite Menu Item When You Go Out To Eat?
Grrr...can't just pick one as what is listed defines different places to eat, styles and/or locations.

In other words, what the FAVORITE is...depends on the type of restaurant. I certainly wouldn't order a taco from a steakhouse nor would I order a steak at a fast food place.

That being said, I like the steak at a proper steak place, a taco at a proper Mexican/Southwest place and so forth.

A bbq place where I live has a stuffed super baked potatoe or salad with 1lb of pork, beef or turkey. It's awesome! Good luck with the new item. This thread has made me hungry!

All of those sound good. I typically only eat at the strip club buffet though. It is always a set price and then my date can eat whatever she wants. Something to be said for romance.

Re: Market Research - PLEASE HELP - POLL - What Is Your Favorite Menu Item When You Go Out To Eat?
I didn't see any of these items on the list, but...

For a breakfast item, I love biscuits with milk gravy. There are very few restaurants that serve that.

Crepes are also excellent.

I love homemade chicken and dumplings. It's a great comfort food and not many places serve it.

For a high end meal, I love prime rib with a baked sweet potato on the side. It seems to be getting harder to find a restaurant that has prime rib available. They always tell me they don't have any even though it's on the menu.

I'm a chef and prefer my own cooking - there is nothing on your list that I would choose, though I am sure it is all excellent.

That being said, when I do go out, it is either for Japanese, Thai, Chinese or Vietnamese food.

Though...there is a Cuban restaurant on Oahu that is truly incredible.

OK, now I'm hungry!

Re: Market Research - PLEASE HELP - POLL - What Is Your Favorite Menu Item When You Go Out To Eat?
This seems to be a very Americanised choice of foods you provide there OP.

For instance I chose fried chicken... but I wasn't referring to the KFC deep fried chicken style.

What I have found is that I am often disappointed with steak, as I can prepare better quality steak at home, and so I generally choose a salad with baked potato to go with the chicken.

Afterall it is difficult to ruin a chicken dish...lol Although some do their very best trying!...lol

I hope your restaurant does really well.

Something I wouldn't make at home.

If I am going to pay someone to cook, I won't pay them to cook something I normally would make myself.

One of those items is Liver. No one in the house will eat it.

It's not eating out unless a frozen margarita is involved.

My favorite restaurant: for the money, food and flavor:

[link to www.bosphorus-nc.com]

My favorite steak, and (typically) high dollar meal:

[link to margauxsrestaurant.com]

These are my examples of: where I like to go for lunch and quick dinner

vs.

Dining

I am a picky eater. I don't go to the same place to order stuff. I go to places that are good at what they do. My best suggestion for any restaurant is to have an acceptably narrow focus. Do what you are good at. I would rather see a small menu with food done properly, than a large menu with a vast choice of mediocrity. I wouldn't go to a bistro for a steak, I would go there for a sandwich or a burger, wrap or something relatively quick. I don't visit bistros for a nice dinner, for that, I want a meal at a restaurant with a vault of wine and talented chef that knows how much gorgonzola can be safely added to a filet without tainting the demi-glace.

If I ran your restaurant, I would expand on what sells most. I would focus on time. When are you busiest? What food best suits those who come at those times.

Why do your customers go there in the first place? Is it a specific dish, convenience, atmosphere, etc.

Walmart is a perfect example of what works. If you can provide the same or better product for less, you will win on volume rather than price.

Volume is the key to successful business, if you can identify what you do best and capitalize on it, you will win. That means identifying what sells most and making it more appealing, less expensive and promoting it.

You forgot SHRIMP!!!!!! I can't afford to go out to eat, but once a year on my birthday my neighbors take me out to the Red Lobster for the all-you-can-eat shrimp. That restaurant loses a lot of money on ME!!! I wait ALL YEAR for that - it's better than Christmas!

PS. Good luck with your restaurant! hf bump

Re: Market Research - PLEASE HELP - POLL - What Is Your Favorite Menu Item When You Go Out To Eat?
There's a local restaurant that's been booming for years now because the owner has perfected recipes for a grilled steak and SOB potato and serves it with a perfect salad. The restaurant is located back in the knoblands, difficult to find even with gps, and yet has lines of customers waiting to eat nightly.

I suggest promoting your best items and go for the volume sales.

The chef's special sounds excellent. Wish i could visit your restaurant.
Yes, a small but perfect menu is best - do a little and do it well. Connsistently. Fresh salads. The only think we order often as an appetizer or dinner to share is Nachos. Loaded Nachos, good ingredients. Lots of REAL cheese ( many choices), fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, guac., sour cream, toppped with grilled chicken or ground beef for a main dish. So good and cries out for a margarita.
