How it ended…
Dear Valued Customers -
Over the last 12 years, it has been our pleasure to share the beauty of Appalachian food with you. From behind the counter and in front of the stove we watched our lives whizz by, our neighbourhood develop and our city change. It has truly been our delight to prepare your picnics and be your place of celebration, weekly take-out spot and delivery choice year after year. We always wanted to be a ‘neighbourhood spot’ – we were lucky to get to know a lot of our customers very well, to see their lives evolve & change and children grow up, and it has been an absolute privilege to do so. Although we were unable to find the words to respond, please know how deeply touched we were by your posts and messages over the last few of months. It really meant a lot to us to know how much people cared. We are sorry we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye in person but it would have been too difficult.
The last months have been spent deep in reflection and we have come to the difficult but necessary decision to close Dinette Triple Crown permanently. 2022 took a lot out of us. In 2023, it became clear the restaurant we built and want no longer fits into this current world. For those who know Triple Crown - who know us - know how impossible this decision would have been for us. If we could go back, there are definitely things we would have done differently, but so much we would keep exactly the same - making this outcome perhaps inevitable.
