Per Eater, the Killer Burger team’s Tex-Mex-ish restaurant Hatch has closed, after not quite three months in business.
Rather than go into a detailed post-mortem on a place I was just days from filing for review, I’ll say nothing ill of the dead except that I think the team has made a smart decision. The concept had trouble gelling, and several visits—the most recent being this Saturday—confirmed that the troubles that defined its menu had not been surmounted.
The good news: they plan to open a Killer Burger with a full bar in the space, so they’ll be back to giving the people what they want—and raking in money hand over fist with their excellent and highly polished home-grown burger chain—in short order.
I kept wanting to bring myself to try it out, but every time I looked at the menu I just shrugged. Everything seemed kind of expensive and not really very interesting.
