"The city of Burbank is considering further punitive action against the owner of Tinhorn Flats, as the restaurant has repeatedly ignored legal demands to stop offering on-site (and often unmasked, indoor) dining on its property, per a state-level regional public health order requirement as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Owner Baret Lepejian and his family have been vocal about their protest of mask mandates and on-site dining shutdowns, drawing press attention, protests, and fellow anti-lockdown types to the restaurant on Magnolia Boulevard in recent weeks. Yesterday the family posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page that “Forced closures and illegal mandates have nothing to do with public safety... only about fear [and] control.”" - Farley Elliott
