Thank you San Juan Capistrano. Our time was short, but you were the best host. In order to focus strictly on my health, I have asked my partners to release me from my contract. In doing so, we collectively decided to rebrand as a new concept within the same space and I will forgo any stake in the partnership effective immediately. My business partner has been my number one supporter since day one and I truly appreciate the understanding she has given me. I could not have done any of this without her and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to show Californians what my ramen was all about. I gave it my all for as long as I could. But now I will be stepping back in order to regroup and refocus on the more important things in life. As always, a very important thank you to my friends and family for continuing to support my dreams. I realize that this decision affects more than just me and I’d like to apologize to the entire family of staff that helped build Ramen Shack San Juan Capistrano both past and present. As for my health, I would like to address it when I feel the time is right. Until then, I will continue to fight with all my might. Thank you very much.
