Soul Daddy’s wins! Now, the real question is, when can I expect a restaurant to open in Seattle? I love soul food. (Please let there be hushpuppies…) Since this was my favorite concept from the beginning, I am thrilled.

I think Sudhir should take this experience and go get a business loan to open Spice Coast. He has a great track record of starting businesses, and by going deep on this show, proves to investors and/or banks that he has the experience and skills necessary to succeed.

Joey needs to go open a family style meatball restaurant and be happy.

My two favorites are in the final three. At this point, I’m betting on Soul Daddy’s (and am wondering how quickly one will come to the Seattle area).  His food has been really popular; he’s made strides toward making the food healthier, and he got employees who also seemed to really like his food.

Of course, I won’t be sad if its Spice Coast, either. I’m all for fast casual Indian food. Give me a mango milkshake (probably a mango lassi) any day.

I will be mad if Brooklyn Meatball company wins. Joey annoys me and the food isn’t consistent.

My two favorite concepts were both in the bottom three. I can feel forSpiceCoastbecause he’s right, it’s not meant as kid cuisine, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I think that a fast casual restaurant that doesn’t cater to 6 year olds can succeed. Your lunch rush isn’t families, it’s professionals.

I also appreciated that Bobby Flay admitted that he would make something like Soul Daddy’s entrée for his kids, and make it in a way that was less healthy. This is soul food. No one coming to this restaurant is looking for a low calorie meal.

Before tonight’s episode, I want to list my three favorite restaurant ideas on Next Great American Restaurant. Far and away, number one is Soul Daddy’s. I can tell you right now that I would eat at a fast casual soul food restaurant.

After that is Spice Coast. I live in the land of Indian take-out, but I would happily have another option.

Finally, Sinners & Saints. I love the “Food for your Mood” slogan, and there are definitely times when I want to try a healtheri version of a favorite and others when I want all the decadence there is.
