You've heard of the restaurant that closes or burns down just before a review comes out.
Jasper in Downingtown, reviewed last Sunday by The Inquirer's Craig LaBan, is closed temporarily. Last Thursday, the day before the review was posted at Philly.com, Jasper chef-owner Nick DiFonzo was admitted to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for what manager Becky Ely told LaBan today was a “minor brain aneurysm.”
Ely said he is expected to be discharged by this weekend, and that he should be OK. But the restaurant is temporarily closed, and won’t be taking reservations until June 24, when she expects to reopen at half-speed.

Your attempt at humor is in poor taste.

I will agree with PhlFlyGrl....I wish them the best. My wife and I were just planning to go out there after the great review and hope everything works out. We will plan a trip again when he is all better.
