After over a decade in the Loop, Le, the founder and owner of the Asian and Latino cuisine restaurant, shut down that location on Dec. 15 after a difficult year.
In October, the restaurant's beloved Chef M was beaten up by three men on his way home from a late shift.
He was stabbed in his stomach five times and in his back three times, and a nerve in his right hand was sliced, leaving him unable to cook.
“I felt three punches on my back and then I saw the knife in his hand and I felt scared because I saw the knife and then I saw another two guys,” Chef M said.
In the almost two months since the attack, his back and stomach have recovered, but he said his hand hasn't even recovered 50%. He is unable to fully grip anything and cannot lift heavy objects.
