Closed Restaurant List: February 2010

The big news last month was that talented, ambitious chef Rob Dalzell had closed his flagship restaurant 1924 Main as well as his popular hot soup restaurant, Souperman. Dalzell had already turned Chefburger over to new owners and had even earlier shuttered his Yummo frozen yogurt shop. As we reported last week, the gourmet pizza boite Pizza Bella was still open, even though its own Web site was reporting it “temporarily closed.”

But there were other closings, too. Was anyone in Fat City really surprised that the Iron Horse: An American Bistro pulled out of Parkville (in a location where so many restaurants have failed that it’s fair to say it’s cursed)? When I reviewed this restaurant in The Pitch last October, I noted that on both visits, no one else was in the restaurant.
