JLK Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Click here to learn what became of Frank Connell, co-owner of the now-defunct Mount Pleasant restaurant, Red Bean. [Don - feel free to move this wherever you see fit!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineitup Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 You could tell that place was going to be a failure from reading the weekly updates in the Post Magazine on Frank. He was just to irresponsible to make a go at a venture like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 If his jiggy bag once indicated a minor case of paranoia, it now suggests a Boy Scout-like prescience. This is the same guy who had his one pair of shoes stolen from outside of his door. Some Boy Scout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitman Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I like the idea of odd and irresponsible people opening restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodleygrrl Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 say what you want about the man, the Red Bean was one of the new best restaurants in this town when it was open. I want the firecracker flautas right now, damnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I met Frank at the Raven about a month before the Red Bean opened. He was a great character with hilarious stories about Castroville, Bono, New Orleans and the drama of opening a restaurant. Nice guy and fun to talk to, but it was pretty clear that he wasn't cut out for the business side of running a restaurant. You gotta root for a guy that installs a drill press in his kitchen.
