Annisa Destroyed By Fire: Anita Lo Vows to Rebuild

We got an e-mail alerting us to a fire that destroyed the first-rate restaurant Annisa. I e-mailed Annisa chef-restaurateur Anita Lo for confirmation. She responded quickly: "Yes, we had a terrible kitchen fire in the early hours of July 4th, after everyone was gone. The fire marshall hasn't come yet, so we don't know what started it. And yes, we are going to rebuild--hopefully better than before." Our thoughts and prayers are with Anita and the entire Annisa staff.
