But we LOVE Chico Madrid and we want all of you to have one last chance to enjoy our delicious food and warm spirit before we close. Please join us this week – we’d love to see you to say thank you./p
pJacob Daly, founding member of Chico Madrid (along with Honoré bakery owner Franz Gilbertson), says Chico Madrid will always be a special place and that “we are so grateful to all of those who embraced the concept, our staff and surrounding neighbors. At this time, however, we’ve decided to focus our efforts elsewhere.”/p
