re: Mimi's in River Ridge is closing

Pete Vasquez arrived in late 2010. Article

It's usually a bad idea to change almost everything about a place when it's 30 years old. While it's not an absolute rule, it has been pretty consistent in my experience.

Now I can't begrudge the chef or the owner for trying something new but it flopped badly. Vazquez, who admittedly has culinary A.D.D. should have toned it down a bit. The blue hairs aren't a very adventurous bunch and changing things doesn't go over well if that's your core demographic.

Anyways, bye Mimi's. It was nice the few times we ate there (prior to the new chef).
