As explained by Wikipedia (who else?), Automats are a "fast food restaurant where simple foods and drink are served by coin-operated and bill-operated vending machines."
Food Network's 'Unwrapped' episode tonight featured a segment on a new Automat in New York called 'Bamn'.
Which has me wondering whether this business model would be successful in Hawaii.
After all, we have plenty of Japanese tourists that visit our islands. And as you may know, the vending machine industry in Japan is HUGE. Biggest (and sometimes whackiest) in the world.
Me thinks a Waikiki 'Automat' would RAGE!
