"A Queen Anne restaurant helmed by Maximillian Petty is closing on September 4, its 10-year anniversary; Petty told Eater Seattle that he and his wife and co-owner Jennifer will be focusing on their other business, Big Max Burger Co. In a statement the restaurant wrote: "The food that made us popular — intricate and creative dishes with an ungodly amount of steps and Max’s pure creativity — was unsustainable." The statement continued: "The rapid changing restaurant economics was once a fun puzzle and now simmers resentment that bleeds into our hospitality. It’s hard to feel generous when we’re feeling so strapped." - Harry Cheadle
