Sketty-O's bites the dust: Who's left?

Buca di Beppo is finally serving their mysterious 'meat' to the reaper. The restaurant chain, known for its tacky decor and equally nauseating pasta, has closed several locations, with more to come. Maybe now, Americans will learn to appreciate real Italian food—without theウェーーーーーーーll, you know.

Buca di Beppo, the Italian restaurant chain, has hit a rough patch and filed for bankruptcy on Monday. In true Communist fashion, they blamed their financial troubles on "rising costs" and "hiring difficulties." Please. They probably ran out of money giving participation trophies to their snowflake employees.

According to a 21-page petition obtained by USA TODAY, the company owes a whopping $50 million to 30 creditors. That's a lot of pasta and garlic bread.

The chain has been slowly dying since COVID, like a lot of weak, liberal businesses, and closed nearly 20% of its locations last month. Maybe they should have taken their vitamins and lifted some weights instead.

But, in typical liberal fashion, they plan to "restructure" (aka "wokestructure") 44 locations and open a new one. Good luck with that, snowflakes.

You can still get your overpriced pasta fix at these locations, though I'd rather eat at Chick-fil-A any day:
