"Reflections on Duff’s Restaurant, Scheduled to Shutter at the End of June" by George Mahe
After 41 years in business, current owners Karen Duffy and Tim Kirby have decided to close the landmark restaurant at 392 N. Euclid, an address that in earlier days, according to longtime customer and SLM dining critic Ann Lemons Pollack, was, besides Balaban's, “the place to be in that part of town.”
From its inception, Duff’s was as involved with being a good community citizen as it was with feeding members of the community. Frequent customer Charlie Downs recalls that “Monday night was poetry night," and in that regard “Duff's was way ahead of its time.”
