Chef Closes Over Safety Concerns

The owner of three restaurants in Fells Point said he is temporarily closing his businesses due in large part to safety concerns. Chef Ashish Alfred is the owner of Duck Duck Goose, Osteria Pirata, and Anchor Tavern in Fells Point. “The best decision for my business and for me is to put this on pause for a little bit until people feel safe returning,” Alfred said. He said he's temporarily closing all three due to safety concerns in the area. Earlier this month, a 16-year-old was shot just down the street from one of his restaurants. “Two Saturdays ago, you know, the young lady was injured in that shooting and we watched our reservations go from 72 to 2 on Friday, I think 65 to 10 on Saturday, and those numbers for a restaurant are just not sustainable," Alfred said.
