My understanding is that Shalhoob's wanted to focus on opening the Magnolia Center location. And both sides said it was completely amicable.
I’m guessing with their new place about to open , they didn’t want spread their staff too thin . Also the might have decided they could move some fixtures and equipment to Goleta and save some money.
Shalhoob seemed to be doing great business. That leads me to believe that they either didn’t pay their rent or had a disagreement with owners of the public market.
Does anyone know any more details? Very curious
Have you ever owed a restaurant or managed one..?? How can you tell restaurants what they should be putting on the menu????? I am vegetarian myself and I’m not expecting restaurants to cater to my every need.
Please be more considerate when writing comments and remember the world doesn’t revolve around you like your parents might have told you.
Foodie out!!
Love your conspiracy theory. Hunter's laptop rules. Go Brandon!!!
Piroshky is the same as pierogi. Just cuter name by public. Please don't change!
Here it is, B&P Code 25607 - apart from certain exceptions "it is unlawful for any person or licensee to have upon any premises for which a license has been issued any alcoholic beverages other than the alcoholic beverage that the licensee is authorized to sell at the premises under their license. It shall be presumed that all alcoholic beverages found or located upon premises for which licenses have been issued belong to the person or persons to whom the licenses were issued. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. The department may seize any alcoholic beverages found in violation of this section."
If a stupid rule exists about alcohol consumption, you can be certain it's because of some ABC/State licensing requirement rather than a business or owner's wishes. It is the same at Third Window Brewing which shared an outdoor space with a winery, same with Topa Topa Brewing where you can't buy a beer at Lama Dog and walk next door, and have to talk to people in the wine tasting over a physical divider.
I'm probably a lonely person who is glad that shalhoobs is departing... Now, hopefully, we can resume purchasing alcohol from whichever restaurant we like & drink wherever we choose. Standing or sitting near service area of Wabi Sabi isn't pleasant, for example. And how was that rule implemented anyway? Seems a bit of infringement on other restaurants abilities to sell liquor! It is after all, The Public Market!! Not Shalhoobs' extension #1, 2 & 3!!
The Parklet fees are totally bogus & a total shakedown by the city! City council beware... Don't bite the hands that feed you!! What will be left in our fair city of restaurants start closing their doors?? Extremely disappointed in the direction that city council & big flop of mayor randy rouse chose to go down!! Shameful!
With The Palms closed it seems like a good move, where do Carp locals hang out these days?
The Barbary Coast or Cove was quite a Rockin' bar in the 1970's. Not much info on it now,they had a Great Rock band called Gold Street. It was near Hollister and Aero Camino and always packed.
Can anyone please tell me why the nugget would open another restaurant in carpinteria after not being able to keep the nugget open..? I just don’t get it. Maybe they are trying to prove something?? Who knows!
Anyone else curious?
Carp foodie out!
Ex-Seattleite saying Yippee for Piroshky Piroshky! Devine!
I wish they were Pierogi and not Piroshky. Pierogi popup would do very well!!!!
Do u think they put items on the menu that sell?
Does this seem like govt sanctioned robbery to anyone... jes askin.
LOVE IT!!
Only one vegetarian item on the entire menu at Augies! I am so baffled by many of the restaurants in Santa Barbara that are heavily meat centric; get with the times! The environment. And on so many menus, the only veg item is mushroom base. C’mon people, it is not rocket science to have a diverse, tasty and healthy vegetarian selection these days. Santa Barbara feels like the dark ages in that regard. I don’t want to be forced to go to a vegan place, although Rascals rocks, to get vegetarian food. It’s also nice for non meat eaters to be able to dine with carnivorous friends and get more than a salad.
I live on Ricardo (ours is the house under construction, come see it when it’s done!) The house on La Coronilla, with the giant garage, was specially permitted for the owner, who was handicapped, and drove a bus for the city. He got special permission to park the bus at home. We were so so sad to see it converted to a regular garage door opening.
You called it! That San Roque ranch with the pool went for 3.8......and FAST.
Corazon could double their space and still have a line. Assuming all the other restaurants are doing well. Love Empty Bowl also.
Interesting about Shalhoobs.
If you read the details in the agenda it's a $514 preliminary application fee and a $2,500 license application fee. My guess is that the first fee is for the initial review to make sure the application is even feasible (making sure that the property owner isn't proposing a two-story deck structure that sits in the middle of the 101) and all the proper forms are filled out, while the latter is the fee for the actual full review of the details.
Amazing, always impressive to see how people get permits that fast for the remodels… ????????????
