A sad, sad day. Is it my fault? Did I not go there enough? I'm sorry, Claude, for letting you down. The writing was on the wall when the spinach dip got replaced by olive oil...

No restaurant is perfect, but we need more places where the cooking is interesting and the chef thinks about more than slinging steaks and burgers. Very sad to see Claude go.

Chubo is a rare restaurant in NYC that offered delicious food at a reasonable price in a nice environment. I will be sad to see it go, as it was such a great value. I've had many great meals there. Such a solid, non-pretentious neighborhood place. Good luck Claude.

What woman wants to eat at a place called "Chub-o"?

I am going to cry all night long. No one on the east side cooks like Claude Chassagne, the value for money is amazing. I don't know where I will bring my foodie friends anymore... or for that matter, my in-laws.

NOOOOOOOOoooo! I love this place. It was the perfect place to take my parents for family dinners and to take my boyfriend for special occasions. There's nothing else like it on the LES. I will miss you, Chubo.
