It's a dumb joke, but it also works as a way to illustrate the meaning of "throwing away good money after bad"

Finally finished reading this entire thread. I stopped keeping track of the best posts like 10 pages in because there were just so many. I'm convinced that OP is a very good troll, who is partly telling the truth but is deliberately embellishing the bad stuff. That backyard wrestling championship belt tho

Guys, it can't be a troll, Rationale drew up plans! There's a kitchen rectangle and a dining room rectangle! You just need to add 200 customers/day to the plan and you're done.

That’s just a scale drawing of the building as it is right now. I think like 6000 people live within a ten minute drive

OP just needs a gimmick, I grew up next to the Amish Door Restaurant in Wilmot, Ohio where the town had a little under 300 people and it's still around. What's in your part of Ohio that can bring tour busses to you?

I don't think a customer bathroom is required if a place is below a certain size, even if there's a dining area

It’s rising nicely and then I’m gonna punch it down and put it in the fridge overnight Then I’m gonna roll it into a bunch of little spheres and proof it Then I’m gonna fry it and fill it with cream or something As of right now I’m worried I wasn’t stringent enough with the windowpane test

Joyful seasons everyone The brioche was delightful. Easy to work with and it proofed up really nicely. Also there wasn’t any wasted dough. The doughnuts were shaped by push/pinching them until there was a round side and then setting them ugly side down to proof. If I were doing this at scale I’d take pk’s advice about a dough divider because same-sized chunks of dough don’t always make the same sized doughnut. Anyway I couldn’t find my thermo so I ended up frying them shits a capella and I only wasted like a sixth of them before they started coming out nice. Most of them had the pretty proof ring and just one doughnut got greasy/soggy. Then I shot em full of chocolate cream which was halfway butter before I gave up on a smooth mixture. Nobody noticed the lovely filling and everyone told me they loved the dough Obviously there are downsides in needing refrigeration as well as 10 eggs and 3 sticks of butter in like 27 doughnuts but brioche is pretty easy and very good so I’m gonna gently caress around with brioche instead of buttermilk now. The silver lining to all the extra dough expense is the opportunity to work with local farmers and be like “today we have Eli’s butter and bill’s eggs” maybe even flock and herd pics

I would 100% eat a brioche donut filled with chocolate cream, that sounds very tasty. Also, I know there's no way to calculate what it costs to make a donut or how much to sell it for, but butter has apparently gotten more expensive lately. This article describes a bakery in Amherst, Ohio having to pay $3.50/pound for butter compared with $2.00/pound from last year.
