Remember that weird fallout and closing down of The Penguin a few months back? I didn’t get all the ins and outs of the drama that went down, but I do know this vitally important detail: the menu and recipes for the old Penguin went with the guys who ran it when they left.
So, the former chef has a new restaurant—but not with the old Penguin menu. The Penguin has opened back up under new management—but not the old Penguin menu. Confused?
Anyway, the guys that used to run The Penguin bought the menu and recipes a few years back and have now walked them a few more steps up the block. They’ve taken over The Diamond Restaurant and will be serving up your familiar favorites over there in the Plaza-Midwood area.
I have it on good authority that the new Diamond Restaurant will officially open up on Tuesday, February 15th. See you there!
