With very few exceptions, what we have here is chain-restaurant-quality fare. Maybe a place that offers fresh food, well-prepared, a simple menu maybe with 4 entrees a day that could change with posted calory-counts because most of us are overweight.

Franchise or your own concept? I have 35 yrs as a major franchisee and franchisor.
What is your expertise in?

Funny you should mention that, my mother was born & raised in Tarrytown, NY. I've also traveled to NY on business numerous times so I very much resemble your remark!

along with low sodium!! Seems like all of them enjoy adding salt as the 'go to seasoning'. I can't eat at most restaurants due to the sodium

Salt is way too cheap so it is a cheap thing for restaurants to add in much too large quantities
