Della Monica first announced his plans to sell the business in a January 25th social media post.
“It is with a heavy heart that Linda and I have decided to sell the Missing Link Grill. After 12 months of fighting a debilitating illness and consulting with my doctors, the decision was made with many sleepless nights.
Ultimately, my everyday kitchen activities, as well as standing behind the grill for 12 hours, 6 days a week, was the major contributing factor and ultimately forced our hand. Regaining my good health is the priority...If you know of anyone who wants a beautiful, turn key restaurant, please let us know or have them call us.”
