Anyone been keeping up with the drama at Beau Soleil?

Seems a partner locked the other 2 co-owners out and hired the sheriffs department to not let them in.

Found this video on Facebook. I guess one of the co-owners brought an attorney and this seems sketch as hell.

Benson Vivares, a restaurateur who opened a popular chicken-and-rice concept in Houston and most recently was locked in a yearslong legal battle with his former business partners over the ownership of famed Houston restaurant concept Trill Burgers, has died.

Tuesday, Mico's owners Kimico and Chris Frydenlund announced on social media they were looking for someone to take over the business. The couple and their four children have been living in Chris' hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark, for the past three years. Naturally, it's hard to be hands-on with a business if you're 5,100 miles away.

Today, Mico's is closed until further notice. Kimico said they've entertained offers. The hope is that someone buys Mico's outright or enters into a partnership. If neither come through, the restaurant will permanently close.

I was thinking the spawn of this guy, but I like your answer better. Especially after watching TC not long ago with the little one.

And apparently Mico's Hot Chicken on Shepherd has closed. The owners moved to Denmark 3 years ago and are blaming a road construction project that was completed more than a year ago. They are trying to offload the business to someone, but I will be surprised if they are successful.

That sucks....I liked that place. For some reason, I thought it was a black owned business.

As for the food, it's great. I'm not over craft BBQ, but it doesn't wow me like it used to. It's really good but not different than what I've had at other top places.
