What would you do regarding food especially as a Foodie? Hiring a professional full time personal chef? Buy a restaurant or two?

If you won a billion or two or something? Would you be willing to open a "business" even if it runs a loss (supported by investments) because you appreciate the service or even space it provides? Any big or small economic development plans like save the small town or something?

Or first few, if you already have it planned out. Where are you going? Who are you taking with you? Where are you staying (in terms of hotels etc)? What activities are you doing? Where are you eating? How long are you staying?
