I predicted it that day. The Red Hen is finished.
I know a bit about restaurants, and I simply watch politics.
The outrage and notoriety caused the place to shut down. After that, within one week, the workers and chef will be gone, because most live hand-to-mouth and a few have to support their cocaine habits. Any hard-working, responsible Maitre D or waiter will be known in the local industry and can easily find work within hours.
They reopened on Thursday, July 5 and are still open as far as
I know. Remember they are a small restaurant open only 5 days
a week from 5-9:30 pm and seats only 26 patrons max.
They are a $50 a head restaurant in a small town, which may be left leaning, but the county sure isn’t. Making 50% is of the population feel they aren’t welcome is not a good business model.
