Those of us who were waiting for the highly anticipated opening of Black Hoof and Company (read: all of us) are probably going to want to give up on the breath-holding: co-owner Jen Agg announced yesterday that the opening will be delayed. For an entire year.
“We wanted to be perfect, and in order to do that, we’re just giving ourselves more time,” co-owner Grant van Gameren tells us.
The new restaurant, which was set to replace the now-defunct The Hoof Café, will open in spring 2012, he says.
But, if you just can’t wait to get into the new stomping grounds, van Gameren and Agg will be hosting exclusive special dinners to hold you over with the tentatively-titled Hoof House.
“We’re going to be utilizing the space for some special dinners throughout the year until the new place opens,” he says.
While they’re still hammering out the details, the dinners will feature chefs, restaurateurs and bartenders from all over to curb our rumbling tummies.
