Monday, May 14, 2007  news to me/american: TONY ROMA's is
CLOSING!  Tragic, but true!!! J'adore food posted a comment that
Tony Roma's in Taipei is closing at the end of May 2007! I was
shocked to hear this and the news is confirmed on their website:
感謝大家多年來對TONY ROMA'S的支持 Tony Roma’s經營團隊及全體員工十二萬分的感謝您這些年來的支持。  On
behalf of the management and staff of Tony Roma's, we would like
to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support all these
years. As our lease is expiring soon, this restaurant will cease
operations in June.  Why oh why???? It's been around as long as
I can remember- maybe over 10 years or so. Their ribs are pretty
close to what you'd get back home even though the price is a bit
higher here. Maybe they will reopen in a more traffic-busy
location? Does anyone know if they are gone for good from
Taipei?? Have you guys been lately or are not making ends meet
anymore with all the other newer American chains in town? Argh!!
It's not quite a mom and pop like Chubbypanda requested to blog
about in his
