The cleanliness of your restaurant can be a huge factor, especially if you get a surprise visit from the health inspector. Another important issue is cost. Although it may seem as though you are locked into prices because of the competition in your area, food costs, et cetera, really you are the one setting the prices on your menu. Knowing how low or high you should price your food can be a difficult prospect for the beginning entrepreneur, but it is an important skill to learn. It is common sense that a clean restaurant would be more successful than a dirty one, but you would be surprised at how often a manager overlooks the appearance of his establishment to focus on the food quality. There was a little local diner in my town that people always told me had good food, but I refused to visit because the place looked like it would fall down on top of my he

By Kathryn L. Schleich A lot of Mexican food is fried with lard and topped with thick cheese, which means it is saturated with fat. Mexican food can also be high in sodium which means that if you have had a heart attack, a Mexican meal can be loaded up with a double-whammy. But, if you know what to look for, you can choose Mexican cooking that is fresh, healthy, and tasty. TIPS FOR EATING MEXICAN FOOD: From the start, ask your server not to bring fried tortilla chips to the table. Ask for low-fat sour cream or use salsa to add a kick of flavor to your meal. Veracruz or other tomato-base sauces are better and better for you than high calorie cream cheese sauces. If you order a taco salad, don't eat the fried tortilla shell, which are where many of Mexican foods' calories come from. Mexican food can also be both high in high and calories. Try these substitutions you may not have thought of before to bring both the fat and calories down to a more manageable level:

Baking sheets are generally made of metal (like aluminum) and can have several features such as air flow ventilation, insulation or a nonstick surface to prevent burning. Casserole dishes can be glass, ceramic, or metal
