Dear Friends,

It is with sadness that we write to inform you that our restaurant The Rooster will close, effective June 8th. As you might expect, the cause is financial. Although the restaurant started strong two and half years ago, for well over a year we have been funding losses out of pocket in an effort to buy time for The Rooster to find its footing. For a restaurant whose fundamental premise is to generate funds for our non- profit partner, this has become an untenable and counterproductive situation.

This is not the first restaurant we have closed and will likely not be the last. But while The Rooster will not live on in its current form, we feel compelled to reflect on what we have accomplished. Because somehow, this tiny, subterranean diner sparked a national conversation about the role of hospitality in building a just society.
