This Little Piggy Went Out of Biz: RIP Au Pied de Cochon

Rumors of Au Pied de Cochon's demise started as soon as the French brasserie put the kibosh on its original 24/7 operating hours. Then they canceled breakfast. And today, the pig is dead. We asked a publicist to confirm the closing by asking, "So, is Au Pied closed?" to which he replied, "Looks that way." Publicist later clarified by saying, "Closed until further notice. That's all we know." [EaterWire]
