OK, last post today, I promise.
Turns out even though this palce has filed for Chapter 11, they are staying open. So my previous post was incorrect. They are not closed, but rather staying open while going through Chapter 11.
Thanks to the reader who clued me in.

Bad guesses to below posting
Hello all and thank you for the multiple e-mails I got in reference to the posting below.
Let me clarify something, 99% of my postings are about city restaurants. That’s where I work. That’s what I know. That’s who I know.
I am not referring to the Chef-less Fire Rock Grill in Columbia that is closing at the end of the month. Nor am I referring to Mark Schek’s place the Rooster Café. I am talking about a city restaurant. Let me rephrase that, a now closed city place.

How are they still open?
We wonder how this downtown venue is still open.Exec Chef #1 leaves a year or so ago.Sous is promoted to Exec. They leave a few months ago.Chef #3 joins team a month or so ago.BUT restaurant has current ads out there for an exec and a sous.ALSO, we hear that they claimed on their taxes, that they lost $400k last year and have bounced checks to people.So, how are they staying open? Are the owner's pockets really THAT deep?
***********
Well, we have an update, they filed for Chapter 11 on March 7th.
And another one bites the dust
Though these are rumors here, it seems they are running pretty true....wouldn't you think?
***********
keep those tips coming, we will try to confirm or deny everything you send us

Customer, right?
I have heard some great juicy things, but I always try to get at least one other confirmation, so that anything I post out here I have heard form at least two different sources.
So, while I try and conform things I thought I would actually share another bit of wisdom...
The phrase ‘The Customer is Always Right’ is the single worst philosophy that has ever been adopted by American culture. It gave an entire generation of people the green light to be as impolite, unreasonable, and demanding as their little hearts desired because they were always going to be considered right. It destroyed the entire concept of courtesy and rendered manners obsolete. People began to treat their peers in the service industry like incompetent morons, lacking in feelings or human dignity, who deserved to be browbeaten and abused for no other reason than they had the audacity to run out of a particular brand of coffee. Furthermore, instead of suffering negative repercussions for their appallingly disrespectful behavior, they are awarded with free coupons and plenty of ass kissing. In reality, they should be shunned and humiliated for behaving like such self absorbed little children.
