The same thing happens to for-profit restaurants, it takes them a year

That seems to be a pattern, people starting restaurants pushing things
that they like but nobody else does.
We had a pork belly place fail here. All they served was pork belly.
The next failure will probably be the bone broth place on 24th Street.
