Celebrity chef's local eatery files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
If you've ever wanted to open your own business, I have a bit of advice for you: don't look too closely at the odds of success. While every entrepreneur has their own version of the story told through the lens of their experience, studies show the success rate of small businesses - and they are enough to scare anyone off. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Among private-sector businesses in the U.S., 21.5% fail in year one, per a study from Lending Tree. And after five years, the news gets even bleaker: 48.4% have faltered by then. And just one more stat to drive the point home: After 10 years, 65.1% of those businesses have closed.

It also makes businesses that survive past the 10-year mark especially impressive. It's clear they've figured something out that the average business didn't, or simply had a rock-solid strategy and grasp of the market they were operating in. Now, an award-winning restaurant in Miami with an impressive 18-year history is declaring bankruptcy, and it's an unfortunate path to see a famed restaurateur going down. With five restaurants, six published cookbooks, a million-plus Instagram followers, and an Emmy-nominated YouTube series, it seemed as if restaurateur Adrianne Calvo had it all. After the heartbreaking experience of losing her sister to cancer, Calvo decided to chase a dream and open her own restaurant at the age of 22. Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar, located in Miami, went on to win scores of accolades, including the Floridian Culinary Award for Best Chef and Zagat's Top 6 Restaurants Worth a Drive.

In the wake of her success, Calvo opened another brick-and-mortar location, Cracked, in South Miami, and expanded a second Cracked location to Hard Rock Stadium in October 2024. She also opened two other restaurants, Red Fish by Chef Adrianne and Forte by Chef Adrianne, which have both since closed their doors. On June 2, Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern district of Florida, South Florida Business Journal reports. Filed under its LLC name Terra Dolci, the filing states that the company has elected to proceed under Subchapter V of Chapter 11, which provides streamlined reorganization options for small businesses. The bankruptcy request lists several obligations to creditors, including $150,000 to The Lazarus Capital Funding, $137,000 to Kapitus, $91,000 to food distributor Sysco, and $90,000 to landlord KRCX WRI Holdings. According to the filing, the company reports having assets under $50,000 against liabilities between $1 million and $10 million, with no funds projected to be available for distribution to unsecured creditors after administrative expenses. The restaurant has yet to formally announce news of its bankruptcy on any of its social media platforms. A report from 2023 signals that the restaurant may have been struggling for years in other ways. Live roaches and other unclean areas were found in the kitchen during an inspection by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

Big Thief Announce New Album Double Infinity, Due 5 September
Big Thief will release their sixth studio album, Double Infinity, on 5 September 2025. Today, Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia share album opener, ' Incomprehensible '. Double Infinity is the follow-up to 2022's Grammy-nominated album, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You, recorded last winter at the Power Station, New York City. For three solid weeks, the trio would ride bicycles on frozen streets between Brooklyn and Manhattan, meeting in Power's Station's warm wood-panelled room. Together with a community of musicians (Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, Mikey Buishas) they would play for nine hours a day, tracking together – simultaneously – improvising arrangements and making collective discoveries. Double Infinity was produced, engineered and mixed by longtime Big Thief collaborator Dom Monks. 'How can beauty that is living be anything but true?' Adrianne asks as she drives nose against the future with childhood mementos on 'Incomprehensible'. She understands, 'everything I see from now on will be something new.' The silver hairs on her shoulders are new as well. Yet fear of aging is cracked by proof. If a life is shaped by living, 'Let gravity be my sculptor, let the wind do my hair.' Being born, then staying a while, remains the greatest mystery. Adrianne claims her place and time. 'Incomprehensible, let me be.' Double Infinity will be released digitally and on cassette, CD, and standard black vinyl. Limited green and 'Sparkle' vinyl editions will be available via indie retailers and Big Thief/4AD webstores respectively. For pre-order information, head here.
