No credit, medal, cookie, or T-Shirt for this feat? Outrageous! Jokes--calm down.<br /><br />*I ran into Michael (or was it Mike) -- the omakase chef...supernice dude, just moved here and had a great energy. He brings a good vibe to the neighborhood and hopefully the sustainable omakase concept works.<br /><br />* It's a two-turn omakase restaurant with 8 seats that closes relatively early--not sure how this degrades the neighborhood? It's not like there is an after-hours element to Mayanoki. When Against the Grain operated it closed at 1 or 2 am with drunken spillover...don't think this will be the case here. <br /><br />*For those bemoaning the death of Against the Grain, the annex beer bar hasn't been open for almost a year (infrequently open at best). It has largely been used for private events and such. Mayanoki brings something new to the table and hopefully succeeds where ATG faded to black. <br /><br />*What truly in decline is sites like Thrillist, Eater, etc. that cover food & bev news becoming a bulletin board for rewritten press releases with quotes.<br /><br />SHAME! lolRuwanhttps://www.instagram.com/ratedruwan/?hl=ennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-44741836829125449152017-06-01T15:30:37.414-04:002017-06-01T15:30:37.414-04:00Sad to see Against the Grain close down, but excit...Sad to see Against the Grain close down, but excited to try you guys!
