Say it ain't so

Man, am I bummed. My favorite lunch place is closing. Chez T in Mount Lookout is going to close for lunch and breakfast. Thresa Flaherty, the owner and such a good chef, is going to focus on catering and special events. Nice for catering clients, and I see how it makes sense for her. But I just loved the French-o-phile atmosphere and the grilled romaine and the feeling I got of being not a working stiff, but a lunching lady when i went there.

She's keeping the space, and you can book it for small parties: book club meetings, dinner parties, bridal showers. . . . . So it's not gone for good.

Theresa has sent me some recipes for a new feature we'll be starting soon on Wednesdays of local chefs and their recipes, so look for that.

Last day is Friday, June 22. 1004 Delta Ave., Mount Lookout. 321-2053--but don't call her and whine. A businesswoman's gotta do what she's gotta do.
