I certainly see where you're coming from Jeff but is Bacon really a fad? Cupcake shops certainly are/were but bacon has been around and loved by most people for a long time.

I think that possibly the problems with the Bacon Bar are little deeper than that. I love bacon and would enjoy it for a meal at least once a day if I could but on our one visit to this restaurant I wasn't impressed. The food was okay but I didn't really think it highlighted bacon and the menu itself was somewhat poorly thought out in my opinion. Service, at least when we were there was also far from stellar.

Sad this sort of thing happens to small businesses. It happened to me 3 times last week. This woman was very trusted in our restaurant also. She's MIA now, and hopefully will be caught before she can do it again to someone else.

Maggie, can you tell us any more about this situation? I understand that it might not be prudent to name names, but this sounds like information we ought to post separately so other restaurant owners will know about it. Would you be willing to post, or alternatively send me a private message so we can figure out a way to do that?
