We're talking about the smallest denomination to be considered a restaurant......which is what I broke that 7,300 sq ft. into.

300 sq ft is the size of an efficiency apartment....Then add YOUR 100 sq ft. bedroom and it turns into a small 1 bdr apartment...Which would be a large restaurant in an aptartment building retail space.

400 square feet would be a large restaurant? Only in an imaginary world.

400 square feet is about the size of a ghost kitchen (i.e., kitchen only, not a restaurant). That's not even big enough for a food court "restaurant". The Subway sandwich shop at the the corner of Elm and Field is 1,400 square feet. There is no location in Texas where 400 square feet would be considered a large restaurant.
That doesn't even pass the giggle test.

Dallasboi, your schtick has gotten beyond tiresome. You seem to be just throwing out random factoids and numbers; anything at all that will support your preferred narrative.

lol he's pure entertainment - the type you can't take seriously but also have to rebut from time to time because some people will read and believe that nonsense...

400sq ft is pretty large for a take-out restaurant. A food truck is about 120 sq ft. I think if your only definition of 'restaurant' is a freeway side Olive Garden, then imagining that a restaurant can be 100 sq ft of kitchen and 300 sq ft of dining is nearly impossible.


Also, his definition of 'large' was only in comparison of the smaller 300 sq ft ones, not in absolute terms. It wasn't that hard to figure out from the context. Also Dallas has both food courts, underground tunnel restaurants, and food trucks.

Where are these supposed 300 square foot restaurants? I'm happy for Dallas that it has food courts etc., but I have no idea of the relevance of that fact. What's your point?

Okay, so an imaginary 400 square foot restaurant is large when compared to an imaginary 300 square foot restaurant. Ya got me.

Food Court restaurants are generally larger than 300 square feet and larger than 400 square feet. So even if this were going to be a food court, there is no way there will be 22 restaurants in the 7,300 available square feet. Especially when you consider that his square footage allocation only allows for the restaurants themselves, no "court", no tables, no passageways to and from the "restaurants.

Please show me a 300 square foot restaurant in North Texas. LOL

There will NOT be 22 restaurants in this building. Take that to the bank.

I'll finish off with a few inconvenient (for you and dallasboi) facts:

-- An average Sonic is 1,740 square feet.
-- The smallest food hall I've ever been in was about 7,000 square feet (about the size of the space being discussed here; it has 5 vendors. FIVE, not twenty!
-- Exchange Hall, right here in downtown Dallas, is 26,700 square feet - 3 1/2 times the size of the subject space: 12 vendors. TWELVE, in 3 1/2 times the space as that in which dallasboi thinks there's room for 22. I'll do the math for you: If Exchange Hall were as populated with restaurants as dallasboi's imaginary food hall, it would have more than 77 restaurants!
-- Apartments.com tells us that efficiency apartments average 500-600 square feet (not 300).

And BTW, there is no way to read what he said in context, or otherwise, to make it say 400 square feet is large only in comparison to 300 square feet. He absolutely said 400 square feet . . . " would be a large restaurant in an apartment building retail space. Here is the quote for all to see:

"300 sq ft is the size of an efficiency apartment....Then add YOUR 100 sq ft. bedroom and it turns into a small 1 bdr apartment...Which would be a large restaurant in an aptartment building retail space."

False. In or out of context.

Yeah, we all know you can't actually read. Or understand context already.
