I know Alex from back in the day, he's often on the radio etc. Enough said, I'm sure you can google. FYI, number 1, it's underground and it's illegal. there was a place in richmond where the house was burnt down and what happens? sorry, out of luck, not part of insurance since you ran a business from it ( how will they know? Well, police and the fire station will come and interview the withness and they aint' going to lie).

Doing it as a JOB versus doing it for fun is totally different thing.
1) you need food safe, you need a decent oven / range / etc that's fit for a restaurant
2) your food needs to be done well and it has to be "worth" it.
3) you have to constantly change up your menu. No one is going to come back every 3 months for the same thing
4) you are planning at 5 course meal, for 8 people, you're going to be using over 100 plates and utensils, that's a huge investment and you'll need someone to help you clean. That's a lot of work if you're doing it yourself. (what about an assistant?, sure but that's $$$)
5) You won't break even if you're doing 15 dollars per head. People are expecting something that's not just a steak and some smooth mash potatoes, it has to be something that's they have not tried before and you have to carry it out all the way from 1st to last course. You might be amazing for main course, but you need to have just a solid of a background for dessert etc.

I've done it before and it's a lot of work. Good luck!
