Ah-HA! That explains it! Every day last week, I was walking past and seeing the CT employees hauling crap out the door and basically blocking the sidewalk and couldn’t figure out why. (I’m a little slow on the uptake.)

Not sad to see the place close. The one time I went in there, the guys behind the counter scowled at me like I was interrupting their oh-so busy day.

Hahah I always wondered why anyone would go to CT over Milant. Good to hear Milant dodged the DOH bullet.

Hopefully they will put a yellow notice on chucky’s keyboard.

I love Milant, but their soups are just not good. If the gazpacho is famous, it’s news to me!

say what you will about cafe trend, but at least it’s reliable. milant on the other is gross — it doesnt look like its been cleaned since the ’70s and i think the pre-made chicken cutlet sandwich they gave me was likely made around the same time.

Anyone know why Cafe Trend got shut down specifically. I’m laughing my ass off, but my co-workers are wondering.

Zack that’s not me above in the Cafe Trend comment. Though I’m sure you figured that out. I follow the Rudy method of posting and keep it sarcastic (haha!)

And the “XoXo” <— WTF who still uses that and is NOT in high school.
