The last to know

I'm almost two weeks late on finding out that my favorite Chapel Hill restaurant, The Ramshead Rathskeller, aka "The Rat", has closed yet again.
The owner's statement pretty much sums up the physical state of the building, which was hard to ignore during the last meal the LMGC and I shared there. I literally had to hold my breath as I walked through the kitchen, due to the odor of something really nasty mixed with Clorox.
My heart breaks now for their wait staff. There are several men that have worked there for thirty to forty years, and even though they are well past retirement age, they always gave some of the best service I've ever had. If and when the restaurant reopens, without those gentlemen, it won't be the same.
Although their lasagna is definitely not on my low-fat healthier eating plan, I'd really love a bowl right now. Add some garlic bread and a salad with their house dressing, and it's 1989 all over again.
