American cities are filled with fast food restaurants like McDonalds and Subway. As a result, modern restaurant entrepreneurs have to think creatively to separate themselves from the pack. Bamn!, a new restaurant in New York City, has found a way to stand out, by reverting back to the past.
new hot spot has emerged in New York — Bamn! — a restaurant without tables or chairs. Instead, this 55 square meter restaurant features a wall of coin-operated window boxes full of all sorts of tasty treats, from grilled cheese sandwiches to corn dogs.
Tucked in between Japanese restaurants and tattoo parlors, Bamn! is a modern twist on the popular 20th century automat. David Leong and Nobu Nguyen, the founders of Bamn!, say that they want a new generation of New Yorkers to experience the historic automat.
But Bamn! is no relic from the past. With hot pink walls, neon signs and Asian and American cuisine, Bamn! is every bit a new establishment. Bamn!’s contemporary decorations and finger-friendly menu make the restaurant unique, even in a city as colorful as New York.
The entrepreneurs place great value on efficiency, by shortening the amount of time it takes for customers to purchase a meal.
The founders of Bamn! have ensured that the dishes they sell in the coin operated compartments will not taste like they come from a vending machine. Leong and Nobu hired Kevin Reilly, the executive chef at the Water Club in New York, as their consulting chef. Reilly says it was their commitment to use restaurant-quality ingredients that convinced him to join the Bamn! team.
As consumer demands evolve in the 21st century, it is difficult to predict the direction of the restaurant industry. However, Bamn!’s success and the returning popularity of the automat suggests that the “fast food” industry may need to look to the past in order to remain competitive.

Please pay attention to the first and second menu, why do “f” words appear on the menu? On the first menu, the chinese wordings should be “dry ginger water”. For the first chinese word, they should use this word- “gone”, means “dry,clean,withered,dryness”, but the mainland chinese instead of using the traditional chinses word “dry “, they used this word - “a dash has a + underneath it”, meaning “interfere,weapon, war, or so” (also sounds as “gone”), the reason to use this word is, it has less strokes, faster and easier in handwriting, the traditional one has more strokes.(Most of the chinese restaurants also use this less stroke “gone” for dry-ribs or gone chaw ngau hor - stir fry beef with broad rice noodle). Both words sound the same - but they don’t mean the same and not of the same characters. There are lots of these cases… one word replaces other words that carry the same or similar sound to them,that means one word can be used in different fields but the word itself’s meaning does not fit into the sentence or the phrase,only the sound fits into the word of which it replaced. Hey, you still have not tell us where is the “f” word coming from. Actually there is another word that carries the same sound,sounds as “gorn” this one is the trophy, the meanings of this word are: “ability, capable, trunk of a tree, make a living, what can I DO for you, what are you DOing”, there is a saying in the northern part of china - gorn(do, “f”), nee(your), neong(mother, mama ). Now you know the answer!! Next time, if you need a hair cut and shampoo in China, the hair stylist asks you “do you want your hair to be blown “f. the” , you’ll know what they mean. or when you go to a dry-clean , you can say I want to “f. the” clean my pants, Or you can order your cocktail this way - one “f. the” martini, stir not shake, or you walk into the clinic, ask your doctor for some eye-drops for your “f. the” eyes. Or in a simplyfied way to say - “f. the what”…..the song is call “sweet and sour soup” in Mandarin…..Did the french invented french fries???? what is chop suey???
