Lakeside Deli & Grille--sad news

[Nautique2001]

As some of you may know, Meredith's Lakeside Deli & Grille abruptly had to temporarily close after pipes burst in the February extreme cold.

The news gets worse: Chef/owner Jeff Brown passed away earlier this month, and while grieving their loss, the family also learned the restaurant's lease couldn't be renewed.

After all the delicious meals Jeff and his wife Anne have served our families, I encourage my fellow Lakeside Deli fans to give back to the Brown family during their difficult time: Please consider making a memorial donation--perhaps in the amount you would have spent on the meal you were looking forward to having when the Deli reopened or you returned in the summer.

You can find their GoFundMe page at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/4742c-jeff-brown

Or, according to Jeff's obituary: "In lieu of flowers, donations would be welcomed for Jeff’s children’s education, c/o Liam/Ryan Brown Education Account, 261 College Road, Center Harbor, NH 03226."
