Rumor Mill

Is This For Real or Just More Rumor and Speck-ulation?

Supposedly Piazza overlord Bart Blatstein told his employees earlier this week that Speck, Shola Olunlyo’s perpetually delayed restaurant was days away from opening. That’s the word according to a shadowy tweeter who’s already proven herself (himself?) somewhat credible on similar matters. Since Olunloyo himself will not confirm the rumor, we’re having trouble giving it any credence. And really, can you blame us? If we had a nickel for every time we’ve heard in the last year that Speck is on the verge of being ready for business, we’d probably have enough money to open our own restaurant by now. We’re just as eager to see Olunloyo’s blood, sweat and tears materialize as everyone else, but at this point, we won’t believe it until we see it. [140_Char_Critic/Twitter]
