I'd tell you the wealthiest summer tourist destinations on the east coast are completely bereft of true luxury and fine dining despite two centuries of tradition and even the most exclusive and beautiful locations prepare food barely on par with your neighborhood French bistro served by people who barely speak English, and without even a hint of gimmick these same places can acquire extremely high quality product from within a hundred mile radius for under a 25% food cost. I'd also tell you being a franchisee carries no prestige and puts you about a half a step above owning a local Cumberland farms, and if you're considering investing in the restaurant industry you've clearly explored safer investments in stocks, bonds, and currency and this investment must be at least a little personal.

overlooked fact: fresh lobster has been a luxury good since the dawn of man. Our capabilities of providing fresh lobster however, very expensive until recently. There are so many paintings, still life's, frescoes from Roman times even, showcasing lobster. Live, or prepared, of course. Dead? Bait, fertilizer, poverty food. Ask any Cajun, they'll tell you the same about crawdads.
