Eventually, though, Goodenough came to the conclusion that he could not bring Carrollton Market back under the terms dictated by the pandemic and he felt the passion he once put into the restaurant deteriorating.

Goodenough owns the building that Carrollton Market called home, an old shotgun house along a strip of neighborhood businesses. He left open the possibility that he could start a different kind of restaurant here in the future, though he may also rent it or sell it.
