A message at Bruxie’s phone number states that the restaurant closed “due to unforeseen circumstances” and encourages customers to head to one of the waffle shop’s other locations for a fix. Unfortunately for those Denver customers, the other seven outposts are all located in California.
Matt Stein, the original consulting chef for Colorado’s first and only Bruxie, left the group to open his own restaurant, the Chowder Room, at the beginning of this year.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $22,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
