I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge "foodie" in the way most would think of it.  I'm more a "meat & potatoes" kind of guy, happy with a burger or steak along with some veggies and anything to drink.

But I am always intrigued by stories of businesses struggling to stay solvent and the poor decisions that seem to kill good business ideas.  So when Food Network announced their "3 Days To Open" series was coming to GR, it really piqued my interest.

From the Food Network website:

Bobby Flay heads to Grand Rapids to help the Licari family open Licari's Sicilian Pizza Kitchen in only three short days. But with secret recipes "Mama" won't share, a signature pizza that doesn't measure up, a negative bank account, and husband and wife owners who don't have defined roles, this is a recipe for disaster! With only 3 Days to Open, will Bobby be able to open this restaurant before it closes?

Air times are July 27 at 10pm, July 28 at 1am and August 2 at 11pm.  Look forward to it!
