News / Gossip / Restaurants Sweet Lowdown closed
Posted by Besha Rodell @BeshaRodell on Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Wanna buy a restaurant? The folks over at AroundMidtown.com found this ad on Craigslist for Midtown Southern restaurant Sweet Lowdown, which could be yours for three-quarters of a million bucks! Sadly, the restaurant has closed in the meantime. Late 2006 brought us a bunch of places that focused on Southern cooking, including SAGA and Sweet Lowdown, both of which are now closed. JCT Kitchen is still going strong, and I hope the movement doesn't die.
You can read my review of Sweet Lowdown here. I should note that chef Carmen Cappello left the restaurant long before it closed.

Good riddance! If it was bad when Carmen was there...imagine how it was after he left! ...and he left like 3 mos into it. He must idolize Blais. The food was worse than Piccadilly's.

On craigslist?? Really?? Doesn't anyone watch Judge Judy? She's the first to tell you not to post stuff like this online. Seriously, I always had a great time at their Sunday brunch. Great food, delicious bottomless mimosas, and the live DJ created a great atmosphere. Oh well...
The food was good and a little creative, but not enoiugh to succeed in Midtown. It took so long to build and open, the startup costs were probably insurmountable for all but the best.
