FOOD ANNALS #1: The Fajita Depot

Hello, there.

I'm sure you're all very curious as to why I'm writing, today. Well, I'll tell you: I have had an idea. NAY! I have had THE IDEA!

"Explain," you say? Very well...

My idea is for a fajita joint. NAY! THE FAJITA JOINT!

It would be called The Fajita Depot. You see, it would be called The Fajita Depot because it would be all train/rail/subway station/locomotive themed! Anything "trains" would be included in the decor! Hell, probably even posters from that Back to the Future movie where they went back in time to the Old West and turned a steam engine into a time machine. Preferably, we'd even be able to put the fajita restaurant inside of an old, disused train depot, just for added effect! People love a good theme, that's what I always say. Why else would they keep eating up things like Michael Bay flicks?

Now beyond just having a good, solid train-related theme, the place would specialize in--of course--fajitas. Oh, there'd be other food you could order, I imagine. Sandwiches, maybe tacos, nachos, fries and the like. But those would all be secondary options and, in perfect honesty, probably not too good. Fajitas would be the primary specialty and they would be...top...notch. In addition to the best traditional fajitas available anywhere, we'd have a whole bunch of different options for the fajitas. For instance...!

  • The Hyper Homer Fajita: This bad boy would come with standard fajita veggies, but they'd be sauteed in beer, mustard, ketchup and just a bit of mayonnaise--for that authentic, American ballpark experience!
  • The Nagasaki Nuke Fajita: Fajita veggies, plus a healthy dose of ginger, sauteed in sriracha sauce for a spicy, garlic kick--then allowed to cool, as the flavors soak in, then reheated by microwave. The obvious insensitivity of the name (sorry, WWII vets!) would be outweighed by a mushroom cloud of flavor and megatons of.......flavor! Take THAT, Shecklegruber!
  • The Clown-Around Fun Time Fajita: Traditional fajita, with cotton candy added. For fun!
  • The Paris Fajita Non-Pareil!: C'est très chic et magnifique! One of our unparalleled fajitas, with the traditional tortilla replaced with a danged ol' crêpe! 

Furthermore, we'd be sure to place The Fajita Depot well within striking distanceof a bar, a church and a homeless shelter! That way, once you'd finally satisfied your Fajita Labidatm you could just pop next door for more drinking, absolve yourself of the obvious rucksack of sin you'd accrued through the night, or just head home!

In my opinion, this is a surefire, can't-fail business model. So, bearing that in mind, I invite all investors and marketing gurus to contact me at their earliest convenience!

  1. I want a GIANT fajita car on which I could board and ride and eat. You get off once you start tasting wheel grease.
