I like the fact that you're not limited in your imagination for investments. I don't think I'm limited either, but a pizza place is more simple than a full restaurant type.
I don't want to exploit "cajun" like some places do. They throw the name on anything (cajun fries, cajun catfish, etc) and it is horrible. But, cajun does have a niche just about anywhere and will be accepted if done right. Having the Hornets there last year may be able to help you with that. People may have caught that cajun fever.
Our menu will be limited too. Pizzas, po boys and a few dishes like ettouffe (never done in the restaurant world), gumbo (a weak spot right now), fried catfish and greens. That type of stuff. Nothing too fancy. Pizza and southern dishes are a bit of a polarizing menu, but I really think that the changes in the hood are ripe for this.
I am worried about taking an existing full menu and basically throwing it away for something completely different and limited. I'll do quite a few pastas, but not in the same context as before. I hope the regulars aren't too turned off by that.
For both our sakes, I hope to be able to provide you with that pie when you do hit the hood.
