Not fair to blame someone for enforcing his property rights.
He's working on the building on the SE corner of the intersection - not at Draft House, though I've heard from multiple industry folks that Dave was largely responsible for 1st St closing when he put an end to the informal shared parking arrangement that 1st St depended on....so Dave's carnival concept killed two restaurants.
That building has potential.
I saw some guys putting what looked like a tap system in that building the other day. You can see it from the stop light if you look in through the window. Interested to see what they come up with.
I hope it's good. Poke is one of my favorite things to order when I'm in California. My concern is that they won't be able to get sufficiently fresh fish to make this work as a franchise concept 100s of miles inland, but maybe they're counting on the large masses of Americans who don't know the difference between fresh fish and frozen.
it's a good bet anywhere in America, but thanks for the gratuitous dig at my adopted hometown.
There are lots of good sushi restaurants in town. Hopefully they don't go on the cheap as a chain.
Imperial Koi. Sushi RepublicWhat's your pick?
We haven't found one we've really liked, but then again...we haven't poked around much.
