Editorial Review
Your super popular restaurant is now a pilgrimage site for civil rights buffs and your faithful local clientele is becoming disaffected by the tourist crowds. Do you a) Buy the place next door and open a mauve-colored annex; b) Upgrade your chili dog menu to small chi-chi plates like seared sea scallops and shrimp and grits; c) add a minimalist sports bar; d) milk your soulful brand for all it's worth, or d) All of the above?
