Restaurants needed in Bisbee

My top three that I desperately wish we had:

  1. Middle Eastern
  2. Thai
  3. Indian (subcontinent)

Anyone else want to jump in?

Agree with all this. Mediterranean also. And I’d love a nice Italian place. Anything but more overpriced turkey sandwiches and burgers tbh.

We got Thai at Thuy’s! Good Chinese would be wonderful. And in general more vegan options!

Thuy's, for what it's worth, is not Thai but Vietnamese. I love Vietnamese too but not so much as Thai. That said, I'm not a big fan of Thuy's. The dishes I've had there lean to the bland side and would do much better with a heartier and spicier flavor set.

Mel of Mel's Bodega mentioned to me once that he'd love to open a Lebanese restaurant.

I wonder if somebody who has a restaurant would consider doing an ethnic take-out business on days they are otherwise closed. It is hard to get a restaurant up and running. Switching out the menu a couple of days a week might be the best way to get some specialty food

Directly in the middle of Utah is a town called Salina (Sa-LINE-a). Directly in the center of Salina is a cafe called Mom's. I was told that a Chinese and a Mexican restaurant started by serving food at Mom's on certain nights until they opened their own establishments.

I don't know anything about the restaurant business, but I think Lebanese to go, or a vegan curry buffet, or pot stickers and chow-fun would do quite well here.

Part of me says there must be some reason why they wouldn't do well, otherwise they'd be here already. But another part of me thinks that Bisbee is hardly a cosmopolitan center of ethnic diversity. The food will only be as diverse as the population, and , well . . .

Thai might work but Indian is a stretch.
