Well, Katy and I watched it because we enjoy cooking & food shows, the owner of Chipotle, Steve Ells, was an investor in the new concept restaurant and one of the three locations was to be Minneapolis.
As the season progressed many places seemed like it'd be a great place to eat. But from the beginning, despite a simple and probably not the most profitable idea, I liked the guy who had concepted "Meltworks." It was a take on grilled cheese. Well, not a take on grilled cheese, it was grilled cheese. But he was to get creative with cheeses, combinations and dipping sauces. I liked the idea and wanted it to succeed.
Cutting to the chase, the owner Eric Powell, didn't win. But he still had plans to open his "Meltworks" grilled cheese concept, I believe I read somewhere in the past.
So, recently I've found a twitter account and website, Dappered, who is a knowledge on style and sales basically. He must get a ton of emails and turns them into posts.
But he featured a newer custom shirt company, ratio/clothing. In the post, here, Five Favorites from Eric Powell, Owner of ratio/clothing. I recognized the name, did some researching on the internet and found it's the same guy who was on America's Next Great Restaurant.
In any case, I found it interesting he's an entrepreneurial enough to want to start his own restaurant but also jump into a different world of online retail sales. I find both ideas of the restaurant and the custom shirting good concepts. So, good for him on getting out there.
