I guess El Toro Loco isn’t dead? Walked by today and heard work going on inside, and they had a bunch of current work permits taped up in the window. ![PXL_20240103_172241295](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/e/4eebebfb338aaa74fe347c15d9b7c7ee5243fa38.jpeg) ---

when i said difficulties, i meant , that for me i dont like parking in decks and navigating through them…i didnt know if this was a hindrance for potential bbq purchasers having to use a deck to park, walk to restratunt, pick up the food and walk back up 2 levels to drive back home…i guess this is if there isnt sufficient downtown walkins to support whats needed to smoke a lot of pork and sell it. ---

Haha. No, still waiting to use that one. What makes it more hilarious is that it’s coming to the North Hills “Innovation” district. 🙃 ---

Seems like changes may be coming for Sosta. Theres a thread over on raleigh reddit. Claims Jerome (owner/operator) is retiring and tomorrow is his last day. Comments from folks who work at Red Hat suggest the business has been sold and will live on. I hope they dont change anything, best sandwiches around. ---

Little City Brewing shutting down in February, replaced by an upscaled restaurant: Flour & Barrel. " The new concept will lean heavily on rustic Italian small plates highlighting flour-based dishes—think focaccia sandwiches and deconstructed lasagna, plus different types of meatballs and chicken dishes, with ingredients repeated throughout to create a zero-waste kitchen. And for those who get hungry in the after-hours, a late-night menu will serve up [pizzas](https://raleighmag.com/2022/02/best-pizza-spots-raleigh/), sandwiches and more after 9pm (!)."
