-Miami
-Feast Fest Chefs Ivan Peterman, Peter Dumas, and Moore all put service at their highly acclaimed South Florida restaurants on hold Monday as Tropical Storm Isaac bombarded the region.
A heavy squall band of thunderstorms, lightning, and even a couple tornadoes ravaged the area, breaking glass at Peterman's Spanish Wishingwell and knocking out power in Dumas's El Everglade and Moore's Lakeland.
"Yeah, well, hurricanes are a part of life here in Miami, but this one did a particular number on us. Not that it cuts into business that much--people aren't gonna be going out to restaurants in a storm like this anyway," Peterman remarked.
The flashy FF chef Moore evacuated Lakeland when the power went out, though a measly four customers were in the 150-seat eatery during the height of the storm.
Lakeland was closed down about 9 a.m. Eastern, and Wishingwell and El Everglade held off any lunch rush there might have been by closing down at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Edelyn Cooking Arena in Punta Gorda, Florida, a frequent site of FF exhibitions and which will play host to an exhibition on October 28, suffered heavy rain and winds but was reported to be undamaged.
