Wow, this is going to chafe:
Crain's New York Business reports that a West Coast pizza chain is moving into the former home of the Rawhide, Chelsea's oldest -- and raunchiest -- gay bar:
Project Pie -- a do-it-yourself pizza chain founded in San Diego way back in 2012 -- says its ambition is to become "the Chipotle of pizza restaurants, imitating its fast, fresh and custom approach."
"We feel like Manhattan is a market that we can expand in, and we are looking for more locations, especially in midtown," said Christopher Schwart of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented the tenant.
And then came this doozie:
"The landlord liked their concept," said JP Sutro, who represented ENS21 Management. "They thought it would be great for the area to have something that wasn’t a 7-Eleven or Dunkin' Donuts, something with a little more local flair where the community would like to patronize."
(Emphasis mine.)
Yeah. This should do the trick.

Having frequenting that bar and knowing what went on there, I don't think that they could ever clean up that place enough for me to eat there--at least, eat food there.
Looks great. What's not to like?
They're not even really a chain yet. They have open locations in MGM in Vegas and in San Diego. Their website says that they have four other U.S. locations coming soon. Googling their name says that they have a location in Metro Manila in the Philippines and that story says they're going to open a shop in Japan somewhere.
Depending on their prices, they could make a killing in Japan.
DK: read what you wrote. sounds like a chain to me!
