New coffee, food vendor to set up shop in Springfield's Library Center
This week in 417 foodie news, the Library Center prepares for a new coffee vendor and a buffet offers increased seafood options for Lent. Plus, who to call for a barbecue emergency. Library Center to get new coffee, food vendor A new business, The Golden Goose Cafe, has posted a "coming soon" sign in the cafe area of the Library Center at 4653 S. Campbell Ave. According to a job listing for a barista/baker at The Golden Goose Cafe, the spot will "be baking and cooking from scratch, daily." While the library has hosted coffee vendors since its opening in 1999, according to prior News-Leader reporting , the COVID-19 pandemic ended a 12-year run for Mudhouse at that location. Other vendors like Seattle Roast Coffee and Polymath Cafe have struggled in that spot, with neither lasting longer than a year.

Springfield Thai restaurant closes but owner says it will reopen
A Springfield Thai restaurant is temporarily closed, according to a Facebook post by the owner. Patrick Netthongkome, owner of Thai Express at 2113 W. Republic Road, said in a Facebook post that the restaurant is temporarily closed due to "a private conflict and incident" and that they have not been evicted from the building despite social media chatter. "While I do not know how long it will take to resolve these matters, I do anticipate resolving them and getting us back open as quickly as possible. My legal team is working diligently to get us back up and running ASAP and we will continue to post updates on our page," Netthongkome wrote in the post. "I can and will say with full confidence that we will be open again in the near future, I just don’t have a date at this time." On Feb. 6, Netthongkome filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Western District of Missouri. He had told the News-Leader in a Feb. 10 email that the filing would not affect Thai Express's operations and that he had "no plans of closing" the restaurant. He declined to comment on the bankruptcy filing on the advice of his attorney.
