When Governor Stitt said he wanted to run the state like a business, I guess that meant he wanted taxpayers to lose money in the restaurant industry!
In a surprise to absolutely no one who reads this site and/or has ever invested money in a restaurant, the state sued the operators of Lookout Kitchen – the much-maligned chain that replaced the much-maligned Swadley’s Foggy Bottom Kitchen in all state parks – just months after the chain was shut down over $200,000+ in unpaid bills.
Although news of a lawsuit isn’t shocking, the money the state’s seeking to claw back is raising eyebrows.
According to the state, the chain’s genius ownership group – led by Joe Exotic’s former traveling sideshow magician JP Wilson – didn’t just owe for unpaid taxes and missed revenue-sharing payments, but also for millions in damage caused to a lodge thanks to a kitchen fire.
