No more dinner at The Usual

underthehill

All,

I was informed by my coworker today that the chef who handles the dinner service at The Usual is looking for a new job. The reason why? Mike and Johnny has been dedicating so much time, being there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it has taken a toll on them. They have decided to buy out the new partner, who was responsible for the makeover and creation of a dinner service, and turn The Usual back to it's roots of service breakfast and lunch, no dinner. It wasn't a money issue, because they are getting a great deal of business for dinner and making lots of money, but it was the amount of strain put on Mike and Johnny to make sure The Usual is up to their standards for all three services that has worn them down.

They're gonna go bankrupt with all these re-models. I'm sorry to see the dinner service go. It was pretty good food.
