CLOSURES

Homegrown Smoker Like List
This beloved vegan barbecue joint announced on Instagram yesterday that it will close permanently at the end of September, writing, "The primary reason for this decision is that our owner is dealing with some health issues, and our original partner trainee stepped away from the restaurant industry. We’ve been trying and it’s been proven difficult to find a replacement. The toll it has taken on our concept and staff members has been significant, and we have made this decision to avoid any further prolongation of the situation. The team's mental health is priority, and in many ways this will be the right move."
