Restaurant Brokers: There are two kinds. You have the ones who are on permanent vacation in Florida and call weeks after you left a massage, and then there are the ones that have no clue what they are trying to sell you. (i.e: idiots)
I have been playing with the idea of opening a restaurant for a few years now, and find restaurant brokers impossible to work with. Landlords are usually easier, but would rather sit on an empty space for years before begrudging you a couple bucks.
Well, I'll just keep my eyes open.

What is a restaurant broker, exactly?
As far as what it takes to get one up and running? The primary attribute you need is ka-ching. Money seems to open doors like nothing else. Unfortunatly, that's in short supply.
