Fans Filch Resto Hallmarks
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
Never mind holding out hope for any kind of economic turnaround.
Alexandria restaurant folks have recently been forced to recover signature items that have taken to wandering off.
The latest business owner waylaid by sticky fingers is BGR founder Mark Bucher, whose double-sided burger placard (usually parked right at the corner of King and North Washington Streets) vanished late Monday night.
Though Bucher is clearing having fun with his cyber-dragnet, Jackson 20 executive chef Dennis Marron was obviously distressed after learning that late-night revelers had shoved restaurant mascot “Bessie” into a cab and sped off into the darkness about a month ago.
Luckily for Marron (and all the Bessie lovers out there), the iconic pig was returned the following morning–presumably after the offending party sobered up/figured out the bronze figurine wouldn’t net him one thin dime on Cash4Gold.
