Fusion Le Bistrot is no more; Firehouse Subs is yummy

UPDATE: in late 2007, I started a new site that's only about Snellville restaurants.
It's called www.SnellvilleEats.com - check it out when you have a minute...! ...and now, back to the original blog post...

The other day, I actually ventured forth into the wide, wide world and breathed some outside air. That was nice. But, when I did that, I found that Fusion Le Bistrot has closed.

That was the place that had traditional Thai and French cuisine under one roof. Not being a fan of either type of cuisine, I don't know how the food was (I'm more of a Le Big Mac person) - but I can imagine that there would be a limited client base for that.

Hubs and I discussed it on several occasions. I liked to think positively, that it would be a perfect place for when the man in a couple was a big fan of Thai food, but the lady found it too spicy, so she could have the ooh la la French food and both would be happy campers. I'm sorry that that scenario didn't work out for them. I know restaurants have a hard time to make a go of it. I think a statistic on it is that 2 out of 3 restaurants close within their first year (don't quote me on it, but I think that's correct - got that info from Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares - in between all the bleeeeeeps...I heard that)

A food fusion idea that I think would work well in Snellville would be a chicken and waffles joint. Sounds really weird but I think people would like it. Cardiac physicians would not. Gladys Knight has started a chain of these, called Gladys and Ron's. (there are 3 locations in the Atlanta area.)

The Hubs and I ate next door at Firehouse Subs. Firehouse, by the way, recently earned a 100 on their restaurant inspection, and the inspector had written "VERY CLEAN" across the inspection report. The food is excellent there, and if you have kids, the kids meal includes a red plastic firefighter's hat. Everybody happy!!! Check them out next time you are near the intersection of Pharr Rd and Scenic Highway (the one across the street from Publix)
