Over the last eighteen months, several new bars/restaurants have moved into Five Points. First came Rosenberg’s Bagels & Deli, which brought new crowds to the area. Then came Dunbar’s Kitchen & Tap House, followed by Spangalang Brewery, and there are many more to come. But with the additions come losses: Last week longtime owners Tom Unterwagner and Steve Jankousky announced that they’d closed Tom’s Home Cookin’; the building was reportedly purchased by a chef who plans to keep it a restaurant. And what kind of restaurant might that be? Suggests Adan:
Another overpriced faux-pan Asian bistro to take its place?
Says Tom:
Hopefully they’ll replace it with a super shitty SoDoSoPa style, hipster eatery.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Adds Chelsea:
I officially hate the gentrification of Five Points.
And then there’s this from Pat:
So sad, but Tom and Steve deserve the big payoff that selling brought them. They made comfort food like no other!
What do you think of the changes in Five Points? What would you like to see in the former home of Tom’s Home Cookin’?
