dish gourmet Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 July 4, 2006 Dear Friends and Family of Dish Gourmet, Words really can't describe how we felt when we entered our beloved dish early yesterday morning to see thousands of gallons of water pouring out of our ceiling. We stood there shocked, dumbfounded and completely helpless for a brief moment before quickly gathering our wits to call the fire department, grab Rachel Z's oil paintings and Stacey's grandmother's framed recipes from the walls. Upon their arrival, the fire department quickly determined the culprit of our devastation…a broken water pipe in the condo above us, of which the owner had gone away for the holiday weekend. For those of you who know us well, you know how much we love dish gourmet and how long we dreamed of opening it. We knew for years before we opened, that such a concept would be perfect because of Brian's love of cooking and our passion for good food. However, prior to opening we never anticipated that it would be you, the loyal dish customer, who would be the driving factor and inspiration to us each and every day to make great food and keep smiling. Your support has been overwhelming. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream better than we ever imagined it could be! Sadly, the water did significant damage to dish. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the restoration crews arrived within a couple of hours to begin drying us out and rebuilding. But the early prognosis is we will be forced to temporarily close our doors for at least a couple of weeks. We will post updates on our website (www.dishgourmet.com <http://www.dishgourmet.com> ) and will try to stay in touch via email. We want to assure you that we will be back and when we are…your favorite sandwich will be waiting for you! Please feel free to forward this message to friends. We will see you shortly, but in the meantime please remember… When life hands you stinky cheese…eat it! Our sincere appreciation and love always, The Dish Gourmet Crew Chef Brian, Stacey, Chef Dave, Chef Matt, Lana, Amber, Margaret, Carey, Carlos & Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rlm Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 To the Dish Gourmet Crew - We are really sad to hear this and wish you a quick recovery. Since I am completely addicted to your sandwiches and sides now, please post here again and let us know as soon as you have a re-opening date so we can stop by for our "fix." Best wishes, Robin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
