Stay Hungry

Miss you already, Hunger Block! Via Facebook

In a social media post made Sunday afternoon, Hunger Block announced their immediate and permanent closure. Saturday was the last day of service for the Colombian cuisine and milkshake machine. The announcement came on the heels of the establishment celebrating their fourth anniversary in Rockbrook Village. While they always made us feel better with just one arepa, we are looking forward to seeing what’s next for the minds that also brought us Espana. If this is being read as pressure to come up with a new concept soon, then I’m really glad my tone is being read clearly.
