Nice!!

 

Interesting that Pegula S&E are involved. Glad to see Fred has a positive relationship there with all the drama last summer.

I know Buffalo already has the Buffalo Chophouse. Does it really need another high end steakhouse?

 

Nonetheless, it's cool to see ex-Bills - especially Fred - investing in the city!

 

“It’s not so much investing in a steakhouse as it is investing in a community we believe in, that we have a lot of love for,” said Moorman.

 

“Buffalo’s not just a place I plan on forgetting about,” said Jackson. “It means more to me than just a place I played football. It’s a place my family will always consider home.”

I don't think a steakhouse is a great investment. Yikes.

Where does your inventory go to?

Jackson lives in Buffalo with his family during the off-season. He finished the 2015 season with the Seattle Seahawks, and is now a free agent. “We wanted a nice place that anyone could go to, have a nice steak and a good time doing it,” he said.

 

I think he left out a few words: “We wanted a nice place that anyone who could afford to buy a box at the stadium could go to, have a nice steak and a good time doing it,” he said.

High end meaning overpriced

 

High end meaning exclusive so those with money do not need to associate with those without except as servers.

well this turned out nicely.

 

Wishing them well on a local business venture. It really is a nice tradition to have Athletes transition into the business/ social environment of the "hometown "

I like it .

And you wonder why most ex-athletes go broke after 5 years.

Beat me to it..... This is part of the formula. I do wish them well, though.

I would hope The entire city of Buffalo could support more than 1 steak house?!

I loudly applaud Moorman, Jackson and McGee... they rightfully have faith in the the future of Buffalo.

 

I was born and raised here. Left and came back. Bflo is the place.

I don't know, they have a pretty strong group. The restaurateur has a following and they have the right people involved. This isn't a kitchen being run by someone's cousin. The have the guy from Oliver's involved.

Sooo, how much are we talking? I know, plenty of variables...But on average, how much per plate? If I have to ask.... Probably too much for me. Maybe on a really special occasion.

For the sake of these guys, I hope you're right.

 

I'm in the restaurant business and would worry about opening a high end steakhouse in a smaller, blue collar city that already has one.

 

How many people in Buffalo want to buy $50 to $100 steaks and how often?

 

I do like though that their concept sounds different than Buffalo Chophouse.
