Wicked Po Boy In Preston Center Closed
by Steven Doyle
Chi and Joey Le, owners of Wicked Po Boy located at 6030 Luther Lane in Preston Center have shuttered with a sign that explains they are remodeling just months after opening the restaurant in April.

Patrizio Fort Worth Closed *Update
by Steven Doyle
We learned this weekend that the Fort Worth version of Patrizio shuttered after being locked out by the landlord. Owner Ed Bailey was in the midst of renegotiating the lease when they received word Saturday that the building had been locked up for non-payment of rent.
The Fort Worth store was located at 2932 Crockett Street. This closure does not affect any other Patrizio locations.
*Update: The Fort Worth location is back in business.
