SANDEE GLIB: MY TAKE ON THE HUB >>>
Kooky author and Vanity Fair contributor Frank Scully once said, “Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?†In a time of economic downturn, the best plan for your money is to play it safe. Right? This is certainly not the case for Pat Nagle and Carol Holder, owners of the recently opened The Hub, Stadium District sister to the Harmon Brewery and Restaurant.
While having lunch the other day, I chatted briefly with Carol, and she very much tongue-in-cheek said, “Why do we do this?†Her exasperation was evident. You see, this was not Carol’s first time at the restaurant rodeo, and for whatever reason, she came back for more. They say the restaurant business runs in your blood. I believe this is a clear case of masochism.
Pat certainly has found success in this business with the Harmon, so if you are going to partner with someone, he’s a good choice. Both he and Carol bear the scars of this business while learning plenty of positive along the way. Second time is always the charm, eh? I definitely think they are on the right track.
I popped in for lunch last week and thoroughly enjoyed sitting near the large garage doors, inside but kind of outside. Flies be damned. It’s a cool trend around here and I like it.
Check out my review of The Hub here on Thursday.
