Guy: I have a new concept for a restuarant... it will sell only FROZEN FOOD. You know, like Lean Cuisine and Tombstone pizza. I'd just get all those companies to sponsor it. It will be huge! People don't buy that shit becuase it's convenient, they buy it becuase they like it! Did you ever see them in the frozen food aisle? Their carts are full of frozen food! It's a huge untapped market.
