I think someday I'd like to own a B&B. I'm obsessed with Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the Food Network, and I love to cook, but I'm not sure I'd want the full time commitment of a restaurant. Maybe someday, after I've worked long enough in academia to make getting my PhD worth it.
But I think a B&B would be nice. Just a small one, maybe 6 rooms. Somewhere in northern MI along a lake. Only open in the summer, at least to begin with, especially since I'll probably still be teaching at that point. And I'd like the highlight to be the food. So in addition to the B&B part, I think I'd make it a restaurant too. I'd probably keep breakfast just for guests, since that's one of the main reasons you stay at a B&B, but I think lunch and dinner would be a great option. And, I like cooking lunch/dinner items better than breakfast, anyways.
I'd still do a wine/cheese tasting hour for my guests, and restaurant visitors could add that to their meal, if they so desired, for a small fee. I would love to get creative and use seasonal summer produce, bought fresh at the local farmer's market, and go crazy with different combinations.
Yeah, I think a B&B is in my future...
