Cafe features only cereals, TV cartoons
http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0223cerealcafes-ON.html


"CHICAGO - Chicago is getting some Snap, Crackle and Pop. The Cereality Cereal Bar and Cafe is opening a downtown cereal-only restaurant.

The new outlet will be within two blocks of the Sears Tower. They will feature 30 kinds of cereal and 30 toppings, served in "bowls" resembling Chinese take-out containers.

The company grew out of a kiosk at the Arizona State University student union. Co-founders David Roth and Rick Bacher have announced plans for 10 more Cereality cafes by 2006. If cereal isn't enough of a draw, Cereality also offers flat-screen TVs showing cartoons and free Wi-Fi Internet access."

I like cereal. It will probably be overpriced though.

1. Oh my god
My 9-year-old son would think he had died and gone to heaven. Even if I make him a hot breakfast (eggs, cinn. rolls, pancakes), he still has to have a bowl of cereal because is just doesn't seem like breakfast.

2. Great idea IMO
Except it's a bit of a niche market. Do kids even watch cartoons any more while eating breakfast? It might be just a tad too campy. I didn't read the article, but I wonder if the wait staff is dressed like a 70's mom? :D

4. Do kids even watch
cartoons while eating breakfast? Some do. And some just watch cartoons without breakfast. I know that because some children I tutor come to school without eating, but can tell you what show they watched. Sad.

3. I guess it's better than showing faux news channel...
which is what all of the Minneapolis restaurants seem to be doing.
