The Steer Restaurant has been one of our favorite quick go to places to eat for many years and we were sadly shocked the other day when we saw the announcement that the Steer and the Lake Effect Diner were closing and going out of business this week due to pandemic problems. The owner, Tucker Curtin, blamed his workers for leaving to get government benefits and also the supply chain problems of running a restaurant during the pandemic. The owner supposedly said "it's time to move on".Then we saw in Instagram a message from Tucker Curtin's wife Erin where she announced the restaurants were staying open.
"The Steer Restaurant and Lake Effect Diner are family businesses which Tucker and I have run along with our children since 1993. I was not consulted on the sudden closing of both restaurants. I am committed to keeping the restaurants open. With our dedicated staff, I look forward to welcoming our loyal patrons back soon. Stay tuned and please share! Erin Campbell Curtin"
Although her husband Tucker ran the logistics of the restaurants over the years she has been the driving force for the food quality and diversity. She made the restaurants special. She was also responsible for the vegan options on the menu. Maybe it's her business now.
