Goneappetit

There was a fun discussion in our Twitter feed about the need for a word for when your favorite restaurant closes.

Oh, yeah.

Wasn’t that fun?

So we got a question from a Twitter follower.

Who was it?

Well, Punch Card Sorter is the one who I think.

That’s the handle.

Yeah.

And I retweeted that out on the account knowing that everyone would step up to the plate.

And boy, did they.

Yeah, they did.

We got some suggestions.

I don’t know that any of them will stick.

Because comedy is the first resort of the replier, right?

Yes.

And, for example, Jeff Tobacco suggested Bistro No Mo.

Or I like this one, Gon Appetit.

Gon Appetit, not bad.

Yeah, but you know that just sinking feeling.

The restaurant business is so tough, so competitive, so challenging.

So this is happening all the time.

I think there really should be a word for it.

Gon Appetit, that’s not bad, though.

That’s my favorite so far, but maybe we’ll hear others.
