The restaurant unnamed in most news accounts of the underground vault explosion in Beverly Grove was Northern Cafe. Strangely I noticed utility worktrucks parked in front of Northern Cafe when I drove by the location a couple of hours before the explosion, as I noted that they took what could have been my parking spot if I had opted to stop by.
So . . . downhill alert?
(I kid . . . and yes I checked to see that no one was seriously injured.)

Maybe a worker took some Northern Cafe food (to-go) underground, and it blew his socks off.
Too soon?

I’m not sure I should have written it.
Let’s just hope insurance was paid and all employees are able to make ends meet while they rebuild.

While they’re recovering, it will be a loss for Cedars employees.

This is totally irrelevant but to me it seems so odd:
When I was at the Northern Cafe in Westwood - a day after the event on 7/8 - the staff had not heard at all of the explosion at the Beverly Northern Cafe.
