Sounds like the American Dream... work hard... build a business... and sell it for a huge profit.  Congrats to the Davoli's!

Hey, good for the Davoli family. Look, these guys didn't wake up every day to serve food because it makes them feel good in the soul. They built a business and sold it. Hats off to them.

Gotta admit, I was also one of those who were quite taken in by the title of the article!  We've only eaten there two or three times (JB location) and it was well worth the wait each time. 

I can understand why some would be upset by this, though.  If you really like the place, and consider it a local, you know it's only a matter of time before the suits ruin it with management from afar.  That WILL be sad for this place. 

I don't blame the family for selling it, though.  I'm sure they received an offer too good to pass up.  Hopefully, it will be a long while before anyone notices a significant change in the way they do business.

They all do it, watch as Maple Street will do the same in a few years, sell out at the top of the market and run with the profits and do something else. They all do it. Some are just lucky to make it as far as Metro Diner did.
