Cena expands meal-assembly business to include bistro
Looks like this is one way to get rid of the meal assembly sessions.
JOHNSON CITY — Cena, which offers ready-to-cook meals at its site at 201 Oakdale Road, said it has expanded its business to include a bistro.Cena Fresh Bistro offers lunch and dinner for dine in or take out. Owner Fran Cianciosi said it’s an upscale, affordable eatery featuring organic salads, gourmet sandwiches and soups, and other items.
An interesting thing to note is this comment:
Make and Take Gourmet, a meal-assembly business that opened in Vestal last August, closed in May, less than a year after opening. The reasons for the closing were undetermined; Make and Take representatives were unavailable for comment at the time.

That’s a hoot, so they still consider themselves a meal assembly studio/kitchen, but no customer asembling actually goes on, would that me an oxymoron?
I think that is called a restaurant/Bistro-which is part of their name, but had I wanted to open a restaurant/bistro that’s what I would have bought, not been forced into it because my meal assembly business was unsatisfactory…
Jeez what’s next?
I think you all should be thinking what you want to call this new culinary evolutionary monstrosity because for most of you what you own and operate is no longer a meal assembly studio/kitchen.
