Listen up, inept people who think they have what it takes to open a restaurant even though they almost certainly do not, because critic-about-town Rob Balon has some thoughts. For aspiring restaurateurs, Balon recommends getting funding from "relatives, friends, angel investors, and your own resources," and says new owners should "be prepared to bring it, your very best, every day." Oh, and "avoid having a 16-yr-old high school girl answering your phone." Obviously. [DiningOut]
