I remember walking into the bathroom there one night and there was puke all over the floor and one shoe. Someone was not having a good night.

They're not closing for good. They want -- and have wanted for years -- a new location. BTW, I've never eaten there, either.

It's good to see you commenting on those things you know nothing about. Makes it that much easier to show how wrong you are.

I'm thinking about opening a hot dog place with booze.
No brainer, right?
Bob? Can you zip it though? You killed the last place.

We need to start treating Travis better. He is a human being, Greenway. He has feelings.

Hell, I trusted you to know what's what, Turtleneck. I've gone on the assumption that you had verified Travis' sex.

“It’s hard to make money in the restaurant business,” co-owner Seth Tompkins said. “We’ve had this in the hands of some managers since we’ve opened and honestly it never really made money for us. Just after four years of trying to get it to work we just can’t do it.”

I can only speculate but speculation is not encouraged on the Internet.

I have not. I still haven't quite caught up on the books, got slowed down, but I think when I do I'll just watch the whole show. Maybe by the end of the season I'll be all caught up.

Re: Panchero's On Grand River in Downtown East Lansing Has Closed..
I may have missed it because I skimmed over the replies, but the problem with Panchero's is that they sold out and went corporate, they became Chipotle lite, with a less refined business model, too little corporate backbone and worse pricing.
Panchero's was in the 'EL niche zone' when they offered a unique and delicious product. It was THE after bar spot from '93ish to '00ish when they went corporate (my years could be way off).
Who wants Chipotle in a college town at 2:30 AM drunk/high off your ass? Fuck no, I want an El Gordo with refried beans made with care by an illegal. Or a giant fried tortilla shell bowl with meat and lettuce inside of it. A college kid would take Taco Bell 10/10 at 2:30 AM over Chipotle.

Way different.
You don't go to El Az at 3 AM drunk off of your ass looking for a burrito to go.

You should try to eat 18 burritos in 2 hours.
