If you’ve ever wondered why a restaurant build takes forever, this one’s for you. Bruce Russo and Diane Armitage break down the brutal reality of opening a restaurant – using Bruce’s Laguna Beach project as Exhibit A. From historic preservation hoops to 20+ meetings with city staff, multiple rejections, custom grease trap negotiations, and the infamous “we’ll see you at 4PM today” summons while commuting from Dallas… this is not just red tape – it’s a full-blown obstacle course. They cover everything from planning and zoning delays to health inspections that can stall openings for months. Plus: a wild behind-the-scenes look at how Bruce once rebuilt entire nightclubs in five days flat – with a $12K-per-day penalty clause if he failed.
