The speculation caught the attention of Bundobust fans and gourmets with a saying: “Bradford needs a Bundobust”. Some advocates suggested possible venues, such as the former Yorkshire Penny Bank, while others did not thwart their not-so-discreet dreams of “a dog-friendly, vegetarian Indian Street Food restaurant that also makes craft beer.” Bundobust co-founder Mayur Patel, commercial property partner Simon Mydlowski (standing) and Bundobust co-founder Mark Husak, pictured. The award-winning Goose Eye Brewery, based at Castlefields Industrial Estate, Bingley, added: “There would be no shortage of beer from the Bradford area.” Reacting to Bradford’s victory over culture, Marco said: “Right, who wants to open a restaurant in downtown Bradford?” The head of the Bradford Council, Kersten Ingland, replied curiously: “Marco, you do not.” “I keep thinking about it, Kirsten,” he replied. “I definitely believe that Bradford will now be on the radar of the biggest players in the industry and will also inspire new start-ups to do something new and exciting! “I look forward to seeing what happens.” When the Telegraph & Argus asked Marko for more advice, he revealed that the Bundobust did not yet have firm plans to open a restaurant in Bradford. Marko confirmed that the Bundobust will reconsider any possible opportunities in the city in the coming years. One fan said: “A Bradobust Bradford would be Brill!” Another said: “I hope many new places start to appear, also the Bundobust Bradford opens.” Sharing his view, one supporter said: “Please do it! The last time I was in the Alhambra I noticed that everyone ate before dinner at the theater itself as the choices were so sparse.”
