Unfortunately, I have to relay horrible news. We had a meeting with the building owner who had said previously he would give financial backing for the re-opening and promised to be a trusted partner for the business. While in our meeting, our locks were changed without our knowledge with no true explanation other than he changed his mind. We stopped business in November per request of a consultant to get everything ready for this change. Hire staff, set up accounts together, order liquor, fix things etc. and now, we are technically out of business and the employees we hired are out of work.....and my dream and vision are gone. My personal belongings, and equipment are all still there. And now there's silence.
I appreciate all who were planning trips to visit, all media channels and news writing stories and those who always supported. I am devastated, and humiliated by this and dont know how to recover. This was my everything. I put years of my heart and soul into this.
For now, im taking my chef coat off, and laying my knives down. For the first time in my life, I dont know if ill ever pick them up again.
