That is very sad news! I've been following the posts on the Fong Fest and other events at the Chef. The Chef has always had a passionate and enthusiastic following.

Now that the law has come down on one side, is there any chance the new operators would make serious efforts to keep the place going? Even if they can't handle the effort required to keep it running, would the financial aspect possibly be enough to incentivize them to keep it running?

All these questions are aside from the fact that the hardworking, passionate, and dedicated operators have been ousted. I'm unfortunately assuming there is no going back now that the suit seems to have been settled.

My favorite hole-in-the-wall in the world collapsed similarly 12 years go due to family issues. These things unfortunately do happen.

Wishing you and everyone in your tiki community all the best for better times ahead!
