IRS shut 'em both down today. Say what you want to say about the joint, but I loved that Sunday wing special. Had a plate of 16 hot wings last night, in fact. And with one less place to watch Sunday football, B-dubs will be even more packed than usual.

maaaaaaaaaaaan, I was planning to go there a few times this season. I was looking forward to it. So, what, they didn't pay their taxes? Not a real smart way to run a business.

Yeah. For some reason they chose not to play their city food taxes, and it added up. I've heard they were anywhere from between $200K and $400K in debt to the gov't. Not good.

If Mudpuppy's couldn't afford to stay in business, they should have burned the placed down and collected the insurance money...

...like they did before.

Their accountant stole over 100K from them.

That's what I would have said, too.

yeah, maybe if they'd paid their taxes instead of pocketing the money they'd still be in business. btw, wasnt the first time it'd happened.

here's a hint, you don't go $200k in tax debt in two years without having some SERIOUS sales and cashflow... (i.e. the sales tax is built into the price of the food, etc...)
