George's and La Cocina sold?

[kyleresq]

I just saw on Twitter that these two were sold. Does anyone know anything about this?

I heard the same thing over the weekend from a friend who works for the Hartleys.

This breaks my heart if true. I hope the new buyer keeps the same staff and format!

La Cocina and George's at #alysbeach have been sold.



From Ann Hartley:

Yes we sold George's and LaCocina - trying to slow down and simplify! Great folks from Memphis bought it who have great energy and can take them to their next levels! We're helping them and involved as much as they need us!

George and Ann will continue with Seagrove Village Market. More news on that in a bit.

Great restaurants. I hope they don't lose the Hartley's flair.

We heard this the first part of last week but thought it was best that the Hartley's tell about it. It seems as though most of the staff will remain. We just hope they don't change the burger at George's to grass feed beef....it is perfect as it is.

And the salsa and cheese dip at La Cocina must never change! Who are the new owners? They need to be invited to the SoWal Forum to take note!

Any chance they'll slow down and NOT build the hotel in Seagrove????
