Dearly Departed Restaurants of 2023
Hope and optimism abound, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the pandemic. Signs of recovery, highlighting the resilience and creativity throughout the restaurant industry, buoy hungry diners coming back in droves to taste what they’ve been missing. Still, all new challenges pose daunting, sometimes insurmountable issues that put this path to recovery in peril.
Devastating closures continue to ripple through every level of the service industry, wiping out many beloved local establishments indiscriminately. Losing cherished restaurants in every sector has been particularly heartbreaking for those who have built strong connections to the community through food and hospitality.
As 2023 comes to a close, I’d like to take a moment to honor the memories of those who have left us this year. Gone but not forgotten, there will forever be an empty spot at the table for these shuttered restaurants.
