Jason Wells+FollowChicago says goodbye to four iconic restaurantsAugust brought big changes to Chicago’s dining scene as four beloved spots closed their doors for good. Bacci Pizzeria in Ukrainian Village, a neighborhood staple for 25 years, served its last jumbo slice, while Twisted Spoke, the legendary motorcycle-themed bar in West Town, ended a 30-year run. Heritage Restaurant and Caviar Bar in Humboldt Park and the vegan favorite Art of Dosa also shut down. These closures mark the end of an era for many locals, but also raise questions about what’s next for Chicago’s ever-evolving food landscape. Which spot will you miss most, and what do you hope to see take their place? #Food #ChicagoEats #RestaurantClosures00Share
Michael Morgan+FollowBuca di Beppo Shuts Down in Utah & Cali?!Did anyone else just find out Buca di Beppo is disappearing from Utah and a bunch of spots in California? The Italian chain we all hit up for birthdays and big family dinners is closing locations left and right—Salt Lake City and Midvale are already gone, and California’s list is getting shorter too. Blame it on the economy, rising costs, and the lingering pandemic blues. Seriously, what’s next on the chopping block? #Food #BucadiBeppo #RestaurantClosures00Share
Jason Wells+FollowOhio restaurant closures hit home: What’s next?Three more Ohio restaurants are shutting their doors as the wave of bankruptcies sweeps through the state—two in Columbus and one near Cincinnati.

Michael Morgan+FollowChicago’s food scene faces tough summerChicago’s restaurant landscape is changing fast—five more spots, from beloved neighborhood cafes to a Michelin-starred destination, have closed their doors this summer.

Rising costs, staffing shortages, and even tragic events are all taking a toll. Which closure hits you hardest? And what does this wave of change mean for the future of dining out in Chicago?

Annette Jones+FollowWhy do Boise restaurants keep closing on Fairview?Another restaurant has closed its doors at 6566 W. Fairview Ave., and locals are starting to wonder if this spot is truly cursed. After Los Mariachis’ long run ended with a fire, two more eateries—Meltz Extreme Grilled Cheese and Matty G’s—have come and gone in less than two years each. Despite affordable lobster rolls and a fresh concept, Matty G’s couldn’t make it work. Is it the location, the prices, or something else? Boise foodies, what do you think is really going on with this unlucky address? #Food #BoiseEats #RestaurantClosures00Share
Annette Jones+FollowBoston’s dining scene sees big changesThree beloved Boston restaurants and bars are closing their doors this July, shaking up local favorites in Somerville, East Boston, and the Waterfront. Southern Kin is leaving Assembly Row after nearly a decade, but hints at a comeback in a new neighborhood. Cafe Iterum in East Boston, known for its sustainable approach, shut down due to rising costs—though Chef McPherson hopes for a future return. On the Waterfront, Pasta Beach is closing to focus on expansion elsewhere, with Beacon Hill’s 1928 set to take over the space. How do these closures affect your go-to spots? #Food #BostonEats #RestaurantClosures00Share
Mary Williams+FollowAustin’s food scene faces big changes this JulyAustin’s food scene is taking some real hits this July, with several beloved spots closing their doors—some after decades of serving the community. Z-Tejas, a Tex-Mex favorite, wrapped up 36 years with its last location in Kyle shutting down. Jewboy Subs is gone too, but there’s a silver lining: the owner is launching Jewboy Sliders soon. Jim Jim’s, the iconic snow cone shop, will serve its last treats this summer so the owners can finally take a family break. Rising rents and tough economic times are behind many of these closures. Which spot will you miss most, and what do you think this means for Austin’s dining future? #Food #AustinEats #RestaurantClosures00Share
BreezyStardust+FollowAnother favorite spot gone overnightIt’s wild how one day you’re grabbing brunch at your go-to spot, and the next, it’s just…gone. Bobcat Bonnie’s in Ferndale closed overnight, and now only one location is left (and even that one’s future is shaky). Makes me wonder: with so many local restaurants shutting down so suddenly, are we losing the places that make our neighborhoods feel like home? How do these closures change where we eat, hang out, or even connect with friends? #Business #localbusiness #restaurantclosures00Share
Michael Alvarez+FollowLA’s Iconic Eats Are Disappearing FastIs anyone else feeling the heartbreak? LA just lost three more legendary restaurants—My 2 Cents (soul food fave), Mother Tongue (wellness hotspot), and Michelin-starred Shibumi. It’s not just about food: between pandemic fallout, Hollywood strikes, wildfires, and ICE raids, the city’s dining scene is getting hit from all sides. Some spots are pivoting to catering or pop-ups, but it’s wild seeing so many staples vanish. Anyone else missing their go-to spots? #Food #LosAngelesEats #RestaurantClosures10Share
