Yup, it's over. Ted (my roommate/chef partner) and I walked out yesterday just before dinner service. The owner has been abusing the staff and creating a hostile work environment for too long, so it had to stop.
It's come to my attention that someone is trying to help the owner find new chefs, but I implore all local people to protest the restaurant's revival. If you want the details then PM me; I don't think I should post the whole story online because I don't want to get sued for slander.

i am sorry to hear this, i hope things get cleared up...before sunday, so i can go.
but honestly, i do hope everything works out

Sorry, there's no clearing up to be done. The cafe, as far as we're concerned, is closed. The owner has no chefs and no prospects, so I wouldn't bank on it.

Oh dear. That was fast. And I was planning to go next week when I'm in the area! I guess I'll have to stop by Melliser's house and beg for treats.

As someone who was a witness to many of the things Mark mentioned above, I fully agree that this is not a place you should be patronizing if it does reopen in any capacity.

Abusing the staff and creating a hostile work environment is no way to run a restaurant; I'm sorry to hear that it came to having to walk out and I hope you all find new, better employment soon!!

Oh man! I'm so sorry Mark! Whelp, you'll just have to open your own then...

This was for the best then, because now you can live your dream (I'm guessing) and have your own place. While I enjoyed my experience there, I'm honestly really really glad you guys walked out. I heard about the BS and was hoping you guys would leave. Nothing is worth putting up with that crepe. The owner did not deserve you guys

this is so sad to hear! yet i'm not completely surprised... when i went the owner seemed like a total creepy freak show, hovering over all you guys. the chefs were clearly the entire reason for going, and i cannot wait for your new restaurant! we'll all tell every single person we know to go and make you a success.

mark.
haha. thanks.
when you get the new place up and running we hope you'll think of us.

Good for you for getting yourself out of a lousy situation. I mean sure, the location was unbeatable but you guys will be able to find something new (preferably closer to my house...how does the upper haight sound?). You already have a following!
Yeah, the owner seemed kind of like a crazy. I'm pretty sure and he was at the restaurant every time I went, just hanging out at that front table...what the hell was he even doing?
I definitely won't be supporting any business venture by that guy.

Mark, don't go to Oakland. Apparently there's some sort of horrible coughing virus going around there.

Melisser, what's happening with SBS?
I'm still bakin' & booty shakin'!
The cafe was great for exposure, but I already had quite a few orders before they came along.

Oh man this is soo sad! I was so excited to see a new vegan resto in the city, but I guess it was for the best. I look forward to possibly seeing another new one!
