3 Days to Open: Sticky’s Finger Joint by Sarah De Heer in Shows, July 15th, 2012
Bobby Flay is no stranger to opening restaurants. He knows the trials, tribulations and stresses that go into a start-up. He also knows the equation for success and now he wants to pay it forward on his new show, 3 Days to Open. When he arrived at Sticky’s Finger Joint in New York City — just days before it was set to open — it seemed like he was going to be their only chance for survival. With no recipes, decor, knowledge of food or leadership, Bobby set out to help Paul, Jonathan, Tommy and Stephanie open their clever chicken finger restaurant.
Paul, the visionary behind this concept, was undoubtedly all over the place, and his team needed him to organize his thoughts and delegate responsibilities. Nothing is ever that easy, though. With the help of Bobby Flay and some much-needed equipment, the team pulled off an opening better than anyone could have imagined.
But was opening night their closing night? We checked in with Paul at Sticky’s to see how things are going a few months after their visit from Bobby. Click play on the video below for a 3 Days to Open update.

You guys are off to a good start. My advise is keep things simple. Trying to do too much too soon could ruin your chances at success. For now, just stick with what is working and try to stay in business for a year. If you look beyond your early success, you may doom yourselves to failure. So says this old guy who has been there and done that!!!
Their name is brilliant.. always be branding!
Food network has some of the best shows. Just make sure after watching them and getting hungry to keep your teeth health :0)
