'With heavy hearts': Jacksonville's last Burrito Gallery abruptly closes
Signs taped to the doors on June 23 announced the closure of the restaurant at 90 Riverside Ave., #601, in Brooklyn Station near downtown, and thanked customers for their patronage.
"Thank you for years of patronage. With heavy hearts Burrito Gallery is now closed. We have truly enjoyed serving our community, providing memories, great food and margaritas! We thank you. BG Family," the signs read.
The owners couldn't be reached immediately for comment.
Sorry, we're closed: Restaurants we've lost in Jacksonville in 2025
The restaurant's food service license status was listed as "delinquent, active" with an expiration date of June 1, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) online records showed.
Burrito Gallery was known for its Southwestern-style cuisine, which it described as "Jax Mex." The Brooklyn Station restaurant, which included a rooftop dining area, was the last of what was once four locations of the local chain that debuted in 2005 in Jacksonville's downtown.
The Brooklyn neighborhood restaurant opened in January 2016.
Since November 2023, three other Burrito Gallery locations closed: the original restaurant at 21 E. Adams St., in February 2024, after 18 years; 300 Beach Blvd., No. 1 in Jacksonville Beach, in November 2023, after seven years; and most recently, 5016 Gate Parkway, in Gateway Village at Town Center on the Southside, in March, after about five years.

U.K. 30-Year Yield Tops U.S. as Pressure Mounts on Government Borrowing
The U.K.'s fragile fiscal situation is back in focus as yields on long-term government bonds surged, topping their U.S. counterparts for the first time this century. The 30-year U.K. government bond offered a yield of 5.61% at press time. That's 68 basis points more than the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield according to data source TradingView. The widening gap means that the market is demanding a significant premium to hold U.K. debt versus Treasury notes, a sign that investors are becoming increasingly wary about the U.K.'s fiscal situation. The U.K. gilt market (bond market) has taken on a life of its own, as the country faces structural, long-term economic challenges that it has built up over decades; yet, this is not a uniquely British issue. Japan, the EU, and the U.S. have also seen bond yields rise as debt burdens and inflation pressures mount. This indebtedness of the advanced world supports the bullish case for perceived store-of-value assets like bitcoin (BTC) and gold. Focus on U.K. inflation report Wednesday's U.K. inflation report is critical for bond markets. The data is expected to show that both the headline consumer price index (CPI) and core CPI remained well above the 2% target in July, according to data source Trading Economics. The headline CPI is expected to be 3.7% year-over-year (up from the previous 3.6%), while core inflation is forecast to remain at 3.7% (unchanged from the prior month). The data will hit the wires just weeks after the Bank of England cut rates to 4%. Expectations for sticky inflation couldn't have come at a worse time, as the GDP growth has weakened and unemployment has begun to edge higher from secular lows. Repeat of 2022 crisis? A hot inflation report could only worsen the debt-bond dynamics by accelerating the uptrend in yields. This calls for both crypto and traditional market traders to remain vigilant for a 2022-style volatility in the U.K. markets. The hardening of the 30-year gilt yield, representing the long end of the curve, played a big role in the liability-driven investment (LDI) pension crisis of 2022, which erupted under Liz Truss. The longer duration yield is now testing the upper bound of a long-term trend and could rise to 5.7%, the highest level since May 1998. LDI strategies use leverage to hedge pension liabilities. When gilt yields spiked in 2022, collateral calls led to a mass sale of gilts, creating a feedback loop that threatened financial stability. That prompted the Bank of England to intervene with emergency purchases to prevent a systemic crisis. If Wednesday's inflation report runs hotter than expected, gilt yields could break new highs, putting further pressure on the government and raising the risk of another LDI-style crisis.

Developer blames downtown Detroit job losses for building's woes
A large and relatively new upscale apartment complex in downtown Detroit has fallen into receivership, raising questions about the continued strength of downtown's housing market. The seven-story and 288-unit CBD Detroit Apartments, 313 Park Ave. near Grand Circus Park, has been in court-ordered receivership since late June, after the building's owner was said to have defaulted on a $84 million loan. The building opened in late 2020 on the former site of the old Statler Hotel, a once-grand Detroit hotel that closed in 1975 and was razed in 2005. A French American-style restaurant within the building, The Statler, closed earlier this summer, although the closure is only supposed to be temporary while the restaurant's owner explores a new concept. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Personalized rates in minutes A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership The CBD Detroit Apartments building belongs to Midwest developer Jonathan Holtzman, whose firm, Farmington Hills-based City Club Apartments, has been facing financial difficulties. The receivership situation was first reported by Crain's Detroit, which has also chronicled Holtzman's financial travails. A representative for CBD Detroit Apartments' management told the Free Press the building is 81% leased. The building's website shows asking rents at $1,800 per month for available one-bedroom, 720-square-foot apartments and $2,390 per month for larger two-bedroom units. Reached by phone on Monday, Aug. 18, Holtzman attributed the financial problems at CBD Detroit Apartments to softening demand for downtown Detroit apartments in general, a situation that he believes is a result of fewer people working in downtown since the pandemic. Holtzman said that the other large Detroit apartment building he owns, City Club Apartments Lafayette Park at 750 Chene, is in receivership as well. And he knows of two or three other "major new projects" from other developers that also are in receivership, "but I'm not going to name names." "Eighty-one percent (leased) is a devastatingly bad number," he said. 'Apartment buidlings are designed to be 95%.' More: Here's what happened to the $500 Detroit house Holtzman's firm previously owned the 338-unit Renaissance City Club Apartments at 555 Brush St. (now known as The Miller on Brush), and the 351-unit Detroit City Club Apartments at 1431 Washington Blvd. (Now known as Washington Park Apartments) In 2021, his firm proposed building a large apartment complex along Woodward in Detroit's Midtown that was to be anchored by a small-format Target store, although the project did not move forward. Holtzman said that with fewer jobs in downtown, it becomes harder to fill downtown apartments. He estimates that downtown has lost some 15,000 jobs since the pandemic, and noted headcount reductions at Rocket Companies — the city's largest downtown employer — and how General Motors over time has relocated thousands of downtown workers to its Global Technical Center in Warren. Occupancy in many downtown Detroit apartment buildings are now typically in the high 70% or low 80%, he said, which isn't a good sign. "A significant job reduction, significant remote work — these all have created huge vacancies in apartments in Detroit," Holtzman said. "And so apartments like mine, they were all designed and developed based on the trends of the late (2010s). They weren't designed based on what we're experiencing today." Holtzman said he is surprised that downtown's post-pandemic job loss isn't a bigger topic of discussion, especially with the election this year for the next Detroit mayor. While the upswing in new restaurants, bars and entertainment spots downtown is great, he said it isn't enough because many of those patrons are only visiting and go home to the suburbs. 'To have a viable downtown Detroit, you need to employ people," Holtzman said. "We need to fill up the office buildings, we need to fill up the apartment buildings, we need people working Monday through Friday in downtown." He added, "We are going back to the days where the suburbs are vibrant and the city isn't vibrant, and we can't allow that to happen." A representative for the Downtown Detroit Partnership said the most recent residential vacancy rate in downtown was 18.6%, based on data from the CoStar real estate information service. That is an improvement from a 30% vacancy rate late last year, according to the partnership, that resulted in part from several newly opened buildings flooding the market with inventory, such as the 496-unit The Residences at Water Square on the former site of Joe Louis Arena. Still, downtown's vacancy rate was under 10% as recently as 2022, according to past Downtown Detroit Partnership figures. The change in ownership at two of Holtzman's former large downtown apartments properties — Washington Park Apartments and The Miller on Brush — were factors in last year's higher vacancy rate, according to the partnership, although both properties have since begun stabilizing. Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Edward Ewell appointed a receiver for CBD Detroit Apartments on June 30 at the request of a special servicer for the loan that defaulted. The receiver, Frank Simon on Troy-based Simon PLC, did not respond Monday to a request for comment. Holtzman said he thinks the receivership will likely end in a sale of the building. "It's the best apartment community in downtown Detroit. It's the best location in downtown Detroit," he said. "So I think over time, (CBD Detroit Apartments) will have a positive trend. But I don't think the rental rates will reflect what we thought we were going to achieve."

A British restaurant is launching the UK's first water menu
Food & drink UK Water availabilityFacebookTweetLink Follow The French are known for their love of fine wines. La Popote, a French-style restaurant in northern England, is no exception. The Michelin Guide-listed eatery in the county of Cheshire offers diners the choice of almost 140 varieties of wine. But now the business is taking a bold step to cater for discerning non-drinkers by offering an entire menu of bottled water. Diners will have the choice of three different bottles of still water and four sparkling beginning Friday, as well as complimentary tap water. La Popote is tapping into a global trend away from alcohol. For example, based on a Gallup poll last year, 58% of adult Americans drink alcohol, down from 67% in 2022. A growing number of Americans are giving up alcohol, whether permanently or temporarily, while many restaurants are offering a bigger range of mocktails, and sober bars and non-alcoholic bottle shops are becoming increasingly popular. Chef Joseph Rawlins, who founded and runs La Popote with his French partner Gaëlle Radigon, said they had initially been approached about the idea by Doran Binder, who was already supplying the restaurant with their 'house' water under his Crag Spring Water brand. A water sommelier, certified by the Fine Water Academy, Binder first suggested the idea of a water menu to the couple three years ago. 'I laughed it off,' Rawlins told CNN. 'I initially thought it was a ridiculous idea.' But when Binder invited the couple to a tasting at the 'water bar' he owns in the Peak District, a national park in north-central England, they were sold. 'It was mind-blowing,' Rawlins said of the experience, adding that he now believes that 'water isn't just water.' At that first tasting, they tried five or six different varieties. 'Then we did a second tasting with exactly the same waters but we paired them with certain foods – like Manchego cheese, Comté cheese, chocolate, Parma ham, olives. Like with a wine, the taste just changed.' The restaurant is the first in Britain to offer a water menu, according to Binder, and one of only a handful in the world. Binder curated La Popote's water menu, which features a selection from across Europe, including Britain, France, Spain and Portugal. Prices range from £5 ($6.80) for a large bottle of his Crag brand to £19 ($26) for The Palace of Vidago, a Portuguese sparkling water. 'The measurement of minerals in water is what drives taste and flavor,' Binder told CNN. That measurement is called Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS, he said. 'Distilled water is zero TDS. It's brilliant for cleaning windows, brilliant for electrical appliances, brilliant for your car battery – rubbish for the human being,' he said, noting that sea water is at the other end of the spectrum with 30,000-40,000 TDS. The restaurant's range goes from 14 TDS in the Lauretana sparkling mineral water from Italy to 3,300 for the Vichy Celastins from France. The French water initially tastes rather salty, Rawlins said. 'Then you put it with something that's quite salty like a Parma ham and they both naturally balance each other out, so the water is not salty anymore and it's a longer-lasting flavor of the ham in your mouth.' How the water is served is also important, Rawlins said. 'We recommend it at room temperature with ice and a slice of lemon. Water is like wine – if it's too cold, it kills all the flavor.' The water menu is giving diners 'another dimension,' he added, noting that 'a lot of people are drinking less now.' Binder, who has never drunk alcohol, agrees. 'There are more and more people who don't drink alcohol, like me. I'm a massive foodie and when I go to a restaurant they can't wait to throw a wine menu in front of my nose, which will never be of interest to me. 'But put a water menu in front of me and now you've opened up a whole new revenue stream. It's appealing to restaurants and it's appealing to more and more health-conscious people and really it's all about the epicurean experience.' Jordan Valinsky contributed to this report.
