My friend, Jack, told me this weekend about a new restaurant in Los Angeles called Flake. Guess what they serve?! Cereal! In fact, guess what is the only thing they serve? Cereal! 40 varieties, as a matter of fact. With thirty toppings. And nine choices of milk[1].
Is this really necessary? Me, I just don't get it, but maybe because that cold stuff I drop in a bowl and throw some yogurt on is not that exciting a food to drive to Los Angeles. And yes, let me over-generalize here, but I am guessing there is a certain group of men[2] for whom this would be considered fine dining.
[1] And you thought ordering at Starbucks was complicated. Can I guess? Whole, skim, no-fat, soy, chocolate, strawberry, goat, yak, and mother's . . .
[2] Guys who shop at Fry's religiously, bachelors, Dilberts, priests of a certain age, and any combination thereof. On the other hand, this might be a fun place for a kid's party.

Good thing it isn't in SLC. We wouldn't ever be able to get my uncle to leave. (I prefer all-you-can-eat pizza myself.)
It's probably $9 for a bowl of cereal.
COPYCATS!!!
"Cereality" has been here in Chicago for a couple of years now.
And no, I've never been.
What the....?
GAAAAHHHH!!! That's up there with the kids attempting to order PB&J or Kraft mac-n-cheese at restaurants. RAGE inducing.
Although I must agree, it would appeal to the guys. The Beloved is a mixer. Cheerios and Raisin Bran. Rice Krispies and Oatmeal Squares. And he stores his cereal in the freezer to ensure that it is nice and cold. Freak. If this place is well-air-conditioned and has large bins where you pull the lever and cereal pours out, and you could mix several together, he'd be in a state of fiber induced nirvana.
Kit,
Not to mention, very well "regular."
Shoot, girl, you cn buy bins like that. If he were not so picky about it being cold (what the . . .?), you could set up your own cereal bar with about five varieties and rock his world every morning.
A cereal bar and a permanent beer tap . . . what more could a guy home need, other than a urinal in the bathroom?
Easy:
Universal remote
Kit: LOL!
