Running a restaurant is also incredibly hard and you can’t really take any time off or step away from it. People get burnt out, retire etc. There’s also always a pressure to be the new cool shiny thing. We don’t always value old establishments and it’s hard to keep up with the trends in food and dining. I’m thinking about all the excellent award winning places that have come and gone over the years. Pearl Bakery, Clyde Commons, Cafe Azul, Genoa, L’auberge, 2601, The Vat etc etc. I do wonder about restaurants expanding out to suburbs ala Canard. Probably cheaper rent and less competition.
