[quote=“ran the man”]Ran the man’s whatever.[/quote]I’ll eat there :lick:
Open a ‘Teaching restaurant.’ Have the punters come in and cook their own food.
Do it! Sounds like you need a major change in your life. Maybe this could be it?
either restaurant or a specialty shop selling whatever.
Remember Tom Sawyer, who convinced people to give him things for the pleasure of whitewashing his aunt’s fence? Teach your students while the restaurant is quiet, and then when a customer comes in, the students need to wait on the customers. All in English, of course. This way, people will pay you to have the pleasure of working for you.
Furthermore, if they want to study at such a prestigious Restaurant School such as yours, they must also bring the vegetables, meats, and then cook it all for the customers while speaking perfect English.
At the end, the students can ring up the total, informing the customers of the price (in English), and count back their change. Note: all tips should go to the teacher.
Make some good southern food at decent prices and I’ll eat there. You have to move to Banchiao, though.
Here s a helpful article. (maybe.)
Coonass Cajun & Creole Cuisine!
Mmmmm, sweet potato pie!
Betch ya gonna have a great WHINE list!
Save me some hush puppies, sweet tea and gumbo!
Like NIKE says…“Just do it!” Seriously, teaching can get anyone down sometime, especially when people want to stop you on the street, on the MRT, in a restaurant, on vacation, to “teach” them English.
Then the locals can say, “Foreigners are taking over everything,” while you’re making cash.

You and the OP should write a song together, ‘Paranoid blues,’ or something like that.
‘Tangled up in Taiwan,’ might also be a good title.
If you’re from Canada, Is southern food from Toronto?
I’ve thought about how badly Taiwan needs a down home cookin’ restaurant… Tabasco fried chicken (not buffalo wings, but chicken with a coating adhered with tabasco sauce), fried catfish, collard greens, black-eyed peas, grits, biscuits and gravy, baked macaroni and cheese, honey-glazed Virginia ham steaks, mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, barbecued chicken thighs, country fried steak…
Sorry, I had to wipe the drool off my keyboard.
yeah,open a restaurant so as to get an eye-opener on how piss-easy your current job is.
a teacher,even more so in Taiwan,doesn’t have to be good to remain in business,being a chef is the very opposite

Is that home cooked? Do people deep fry stuff at home in the US?
Aint no “suthin grub” in Canada. I’m talking about real southern American cooking. Imaniou, can you cook that stuff? That’s how I like to eat. That and south asian cuisine…and anything…
I’m sure running a restaurant must be stress made in hell, but I bet it stays interesting if you’re the type. I get sick of teaching as well, but for some reason they keep paying me and I feel better for another couple of weeks.
I would like to be a part owner of a place with some of my dishes and decorating knowledge thrown in the mix. Arrange my schedule so I work there mornings and some evenings, and keep my favorite classes and privates. I don’t really need to take weekends off, I could keep most of the teaching income, and try something I’ve always wanted to do. If it didn’t work out, I could sell out and just go back to teaching. If it did work out, I could do it full time.

ImaniOU, I’ll be thinking about you when I go home this summer. I’m planning to travel from TX to FL and up through the Carolinas. And I’ll see what else I can eat that’s not on your wonderful list. (fried okra, corn bread and ribs, just to name a few!)’:D’

don’t get me wrong,i told him that teaching is easy compared to running a restaurant.
but it has a hell of a lot more rewards too.
i can’t see myself contemplating a switch to teaching
