I don't want to eat at a place where the owner's priority is the most relaxed regulations about food and preparation in the country.

New Mexico has by far the strictest, least lenient, most enforced rules in the US concerning opening a business and licensing. Plus they check your food prep at least five times a day. One and a half strikes - you get deported.

Don't think we haven't discussed it at great length. Normally after 10 pm on a Saturday night, and after copious quantities of ale.....the only difference is we favor phasing out bacon sarnies around 11.00 and moving into a few hours of fish and chips....

Is it really true about Fort Bend then? I did my food handlers certificate in Harris County a few years back, and when I contacted FB they just said "fax us a copy and you'll be qualified cos they are far tougher than we are"

From what I recall, FB didn't require a commissary (back then) which was the major stumbling block for our little business plan in Harris County...unfortunately FB didn't have sufficient suitable locations for us, so we moved on to something else....

You have obviously never sampled the delights of breakfast at a caravan in a layby on the A1, or the one at the top of the pass on the A66....can't remember the name.....

Different market.....the Texmex roach vans do the building sites round us....there's got to be a market for upscale roach coaches.....why should NY and SF have all the fun?. We went to a few in Washington and there was some really good food - being eaten by posh city folk in suits an' all....
And I've heard the tips are great!

This thread has gone off-topic enough now.

To the OP, next time you post, you should be prepared with far more specific questions.
