I think the restaurant before Brun was a Mexican street food concept? The lighting was too bright, the portions were small and it was expensive.

It was a tequila bar called Flora and they did, in fact, serve some food. However, my idea is to go with something that does not require you remain at the restaurant to eat, meaning the quality of the food cannot degrade by too much when it is carry out or delivery. Each concept that has opened up was meant to be dine in first and carry out second. I’m suggesting a spot that is carry out/delivery first and dine in second. Cater to that college crowd but find the balance in quality and price point.

Immediately prior to Brun was Po' Boys, which I thought was a great idea. Who doesn't like giant sandwiches? I think COVID torpedoed them before they could build a clientele.
