Just checking the menu, they have non-fusion dishes from India, Vietnam, Peru, Mexico, Spain, Japan, Turkey, Korea, Portugal, South Africa, Morocco, Jamaica, England, Brazil, France, and Egypt.flyingember wrote:On the educational side of the show "Kitchen Nightmares" places that do everything rarely do any of it well.

It sounds like the type of restaurant I used to think would be cool but now realize is incredibly difficult to pull off.
But if global mean some kind of fusion cuisine they have spent time to get right...

Sounds confusing. I can see it working if they put out one or two solid dishes for each ethnicity that compliment each other rather than a page of dishes from each. Naan,basmati and tandoori chicken with fajitas or Korea bbq....? Could work.

Re: Status and future of the River Market area??
I'm afraid I'm not very optimistic, but I may not be the target demographic. I find that a place might be able to make great gyros OR tacos, but a place that does both can't do either well. Sorry, but I don't want to eat at a restaurant that offers curry, coq au vin and enchiladas on the same menu.
Drinks on the other hand...

Strange Days Arrive in the River Market
Nathan Howard opened his international-theme microbrewery last weekend at 316 Oak St. after a couple of months delay awaiting city approvals.
...
Appropriately enough, the new microbrewery is located in a former Muehlebach Brewing warehouse. The 2,500 square-foot space can accommodate up to 185 people.

I like to think I stay up to date on places, but I've never heard of KC Taco Company until this afternoon.

Good stuff and nice vibe.
Walking past the old McClintocks? place made me wish somebody was still there. Another victim of "event space".

It is good. And pretty tiny. They have great margueritas, which is a rarity.grovester wrote:I like to think I stay up to date on places, but I've never heard of KC Taco Company until this afternoon.

Parcel is currently zoned DC-15, which does not allow that use. They'll either need zoning change or variance -- which require a public hearing.KCDowntown wrote:Looks like the whoever wanted to turn the building on the the NE corner of 5th & Grand into self-storage is moving forward...
