Rob Dalzell is now in Catalina: the island, not the dressing
Restaurateur Rob Dalzell, the celebrity chef-owner of the now-closed downtown Kansas City restaurants 1924 Main and Souperman (his Chefburger and Pizza Bella concepts are now being operated by other owners) has been hired as the executive chef for the new Avalon Grill restaurant on Catalina Island in California; the new restaurant concept is scheduled to be open in May.

The press release announcing Dalzell's appointment does not mention his Kansas City restaurants by name and downplays Dalzell's reported ownership of those venues:

"...Dalzell was executive chef and food and beverage director for the Eponine Restaurant Group in his home state of Missouri where he opened and operated eateries for the group."

Dalzell recently held an estate sale at his midtown Kansas City home after his restaurant empire in downtown Kansas City imploded.

It is a perfect fit the the D-bomb and one more reason not to go to the very bankrupt California.
I took my beloved Uncle Jeeter to Pizzabella for his birthday. He took one bite out of the crust and chipped a tooth and dislocated his jaw. I don't waste anything. We took the remains of the pizza home and our rottweiler is using it as a chew toy. If it wasn't for how happy our grumpy dog is with that indestructible sphere of undigestible madness you can bet your last dollar we would be considering a lawsuit. I share this with the world and the folks of catalina with a heavy heart and only the best of intentions.

Holy Christ on a stick. That island is the size of my ass...which is a rather sizeable ass, but still! WTF is he thinking? The only people that eat out there are (a) the weird-ass residents of the island, and (b) the strange people who go out there for overnight visits. Which I could never fully understand, myself. Maybe I need to go there again now that I'm older. I dunno...

It takes 40 minutes by boat just to get there from San Pedro. I wonder if he's going to live on the island, or if he's commuting? Blech. Weird. It's just all so weird!
