But they speak French.
And they immediately "surrendered" the name of their invention.

Just did some reading on that. Yikes! The guy seems super vain (putting his signature on the signs) and clueless about running a restaurant chain.
I can see why the old business model didn't work, but they should have instead focused on embracing the fast casual model rather than racing to the bottom to be fast food. Essentially, enter the Shake Shack quality space and try to essentially be like an elevated Freddy's (which, by the way, captures a lot of the old Steak 'n' Shake flavor in a fast food model).
Bean crock.

I lived there! The national dish is moule et frites— mussels and French fries

Worked there for three years in the early, early 00's. The smell of gyros would follow me around the rest of the day if I worked the lunch shift - drove classmates nuts. Loved that place. Kills me that I can't go back when I visit.
Oh, and, uh, how about them 'cruits?

Belgian Fries….Deja vu BIGTIME.
It’s all a computer simulation. It has to be
Dan is the Architect. I dunno what that makes the Insiders?
Still can't believe it's gone. Zorba's was the best. :-( There and Dorcas were my two favorite on-campus eateries when I went there. Definitely miss them.

Maybe, but they’re actually fried in Greece.

Agreed. I thought that was a given.
The sentence was meant to read as:
I'm having a hard time believing [the alum contributing] these NIL numbers make anywhere near financial sense for the university vs. the alum donating the money to the university (for non NIL uses).
I prefer a quarter pounder with cheese. Freedom units!Speaking of France, you just can’t beat their Royale with Cheese…
But why would the gameplan be for Ty to be standing around the perimeter or trying to create midrange jumpers from there off the dribble, instead of having a gameplan that caters to his strengths? I'm just not following the logic here- why take one of the best offensive rebounders in the conference and stick him behind the three point line asking him to be a spot up or off the bounce shooter? You don't have to be good at every single aspect of the game to be effective...
All Ty needs is some post moves and a consistent short 3-8' hook or jumper forcing the interior defender to choose between playing up on him and giving Ty the chance to put him in the spin cycle while giving him an alley to the offensive rebound, or playing off a step to keep position and give him an open look. Yes, a player who can do all the things elite is wonderful to have, but those players tend to be playing in NBA all-star games, not college games. Ty has the keys to be successful and a key cog to our team for several seasons. I think sometimes we forget that the vast majority of freshmen in the B10 aren't all that productive. The difference is, Ty was for the most part, and there's still a ton of room to grow. That's a good thing.
Can you help a guy out and find his quote. Followed his recruitment pretty closely and don't remember him ever saying this. Thanks,
