JO,

Not yet. I've tended to be a bit gun shy on the restaurant group ever since following Peter Lynch into ABPCA long ago and watching it go south. Someone once said there is no accounting for taste. I guess that is one reason why MCD has been such a roaring success. I still think ABPCA is a superior fast food concept, but what do I know? I don't have the luxury of buying stocks of the concepts I like.

I like the insulation from Asian competition and the "grab a nutritious meal out -- who has time to cook idea?" idea but am restrained by Engel's law: food consumption is finite and tends to account for a lower and lower proportion of disposable income after a certain point. Financial services on the other hand...

That said, I certainly wish there were a Souplantation or a Sweet Tomato in my area. There is an APPB here, however. What do they do well?
