I went there last night, and the "Closed until further notice" sign was still on their doors (I heard reports at DvA Gallery last weekend that the Chef was closed, so it has been well over a week now). Anyone have insight? Yes James, the Chef is closed TEMPORARILY. Susan was there last night when you went by there, so you could have knocked on the door and asked her, it's not like you don't know her. Funny, you had to ask this question here, when you could have just asked us last night when you were at Sandbar. About a week and a half ago they shut down due to problems with their exhaust fans/hoods, and they've also had to install all new "flame retardent" ceiling tile in the Kitchen, plus completely remodel the men's room,(new toilet, urinal, sink,vinyl sided walls, and new floor. Anyone who has ever graced the men's room knows that this something that is long overdue. She has been working feverishly to get this done in time. Her son Albert, is also back and forth, between his residence in Milwaukee, and the restaurant, nearly every day. Coalbe and I have been stopping by on a regular basis to check status. Please be assured they are doing everything possible to make sure we have somewhere to go next sunday. Everything is actually done with the exception of the men's room, and the village will not let her re-open until it is complete. They are the ones who put "Closed Until Further Notice" on the building. Until they do a walk thru in the middle of the week, everything is kinda day to day. We will update here when ever we have new info. Over & Out D&C
