Eat Here, Not There

Hi, I'm Mark Woonton and I'd like to talk to you about a topic I know to be near and dear to your heart, food.

I say that, not because I think you're fat or gluttonous, but because everyone needs food to survive which is why the culinary industry can be such a lucrative business to go into. Unfortunately, factors such as location, advertising and financial resources seem to benefit a select few places while, according to a study done by Ohio State University, causing 80% of failed restaurants to go under in their first five years.

While anyone who opens a business is in it, at the end of the day, for the purpose of making a profit, the monopolization that has occurred over the past few decades has been insane. Mom and Pop shops open their doors because they love food and enjoy meeting and serving people. Unfortunately, the financial strain of owning and operating a place of business becomes too much for some, because of the reasons mentioned above and hardworking and devoted people are forced to forfeit their dream.

So here's the deal, I'd like to tell you about some lesser-known eatery options you may have not known were even out there, but you can now support these places instead of these gourmet Goliaths that have dominated our airwaves and our wallets for far too long. Think of it as a "Eat This Not That" for your conscience. Let's make Bernie "Hot Fudge" Sanders proud, huh?
