“To rent a fully equipped kitchen of your own or build one out is a costly venture: Equipment for a very basic commercial kitchen can run $50,000 or more... Add in plumbing, electrical, complex “fire suppression” systems, inspection and the permitting costs, and you’re talking at least a half a million dollars... For low-margin products, the economics of doing it all yourself just doesn’t work.”

A flawless performance and he could join one of the world's most renowned orchestras.”
