BTW - I thought there was a Border Grill already in TBIT?
Cheers.
LOL! There's an On the Border, which is a crap chain feedlot that has zero authenticity and dreary atmosphere. Border Grill, and its sister restaurant, Ciudad, in downtown LA, are authentic restaurants run by people who have devoted their lives to authenticity, flavor, organics, sustainability, quality. And so on.
Huge difference.

Having the restaurant management deliver a petition with many names might be effective, but if the official office gets lots of independent messages supporting the Border Grill, I think it would have more credibility and would have less of a public relations aspect about it.
Well, yes and no. Petition drives can and do serve people who can't write well, don't know where to write or whom to address their letters to, or are too busy but who DO want to lend their voice to a movement. Bolstered by well-written (or at least well-reasoned) letters directed to decision makers, the petition drive would perhaps be even more effective.
There's nothing wrong with public relations, per se. Sometimes what's good for business is good for consumers as well.
After you click to submit your petition, you are redirected to a page with contact information for the mayor, city council members, and others who are ostensibly influential in the selection of LAX vendors.
BTW, I am not an employee of or stakeholder in Border Grill or Ciudad. I'm just a foodie who senses an opportunity to improve the dismal culinary offerings at LAX.
