I was happy to see Alex go home. I agree with Bobby that he was in the wrong competition. His whole “I want to be cool” attitude never seemed quite right for a fast casual restaurant. Fast casual restaurants are for professionals on their lunch break, or to grab a quick dinner on the way home. While there are places to sit in the restaurant, most people expect to take the food to go. For those who do stay, they’re likely to be families. Do you want to bring your kids into a bar setting? Plus, he had bad food.
