ANOTHER Mexican Restaurant?

Are you serious? I have just heard that the old Detroit Coney Dog place is being renovated into yet another Mexican restaurant. Do we really need another taco joint? Come on man!! Lets count.

1. Miguels
2. La Fiesta
3. Casa Fiesta
4. Arandas
5. Gracias
6. Rio Grande
7. Taco Bell East
8. Taco Bell West
9. Taco Johns East
10 Taco Johns West
and now add this new Rancheros.

That makes 11 Mexican style restaurants. There should be some city rule that restricts the number of such places. I would think that number of mexican joints would make business owners think twice before opening another. Hey heres an idea, how about a place to get a good salad? We need a good salad bar, not one shoved into the enterance way where people wait or one with just lettuce and tomatoes and some dressing. Or a home cooked meal? Typical Frankfort.

	Given that the Indian restaurants on the West side have failed miserably (granted, one moved to Lexington, where it has been more successful), and that hardly anyone goes to the new Rebecca Ruth cafe (also on the West side), and that a Mediterranean restaurant (again, West side) failed, and Bonnie's Place (West once more!) gets few customers, I would venture a guess that Frankforters are not very venturesome when it comes to food choices! It's either fast food, beef, or faux-Mex for us! (IMHO, Garcia's near the East side Kroger is best, though the service is slow even when during non-crush hours). However, there are plenty of places to get a salad or home-cooked meal: Krogers for the fixins or make-it-yourself salads; virtually any restaurant has a salad bar or sells salads (the multiple Chinese buffets), and for home-cooking, try Bonnie's Place, Adelia's, Market Cafe East, and many, many more! Are you sure you live in Frankfort??? ;)

	I raised tobacoo for 20 years. The last 5 using migrants. I paid the hispanics 9 cents per stick to cut and $7/hr to house. This is what THEY asked for. By contrast, the non-Hispanic help got 12 cents and $10/hr. The Hispanics were slow and methodical but generally did good work. The non-Hispanics (White and Black)worked at a fever pitch and got the job done faster. Either way you get what you pay for, but don't say the Mexicans don't work for less. They do. It's a fact.

	ReconMarine How come even the chinese places have mexicans cooking the food....... ************************************************** Because they will work long hours for liitle pay. Farmers figured this out a long time ago & now every business has caught on.
