That’s a wrap for By Chloe. The vegetarian restaurant chain, which rebranded as Beatnic after a lawsuit from its founder, was sold last year to another fast-casual chain, Inday, according to a spokesperson. As part of the acquisition, the six remaining Beatnic locations will be turned into Indays, including one at Rockefeller Center opening on May 1, and another in Boston, which will mark Inday’s first expansion outside of New York. When all of the restaurants are converted, Inday will have 11 locations in total.

Sandwiches are many things to many people: a quick hot breakfast, a lunch held in one hand while sitting at a desk or walking, a snack in the afternoon. In these capacities, they tend to run from small to medium-size, and are eminently portable. But some sandwiches are harder to eat tidily, especially those that are messy enough that you may reach for a knife and fork. As sandwiches become more popular for their affordability, at a time when many restaurant meals cost $50 and up, we are seeing more sandwiches that are big enough for dinner. Here are some sandwiches that will truly satisfy you any time of day.

It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.
