Its a shame when that happens to a good place. They're so hard to find. I agree with you that many people would pay more for better food, but the hedge fund just wants to take what they can get and then move on. Pump and dump. They don't care about the future of the business or its customers in the process.

Hopefully you have a lot of other places to choose from for lunch. Do you have a way to bring your own lunch? I don't know how convenient that would be for you, but maybe it's worth considering.
