What happened to the Early Bird Diner?

[Celeborn]

Have you ever felt unwelcomed by other expats who own restaurants in Taiwan?

This topic has been on fire. I’m not sure if my experience in Taichung will hold interest but it’s worth sharing. The early bird was a well known American owned spot for more than a decade. Decent food, decent staff, good place to go. Except for the owner. He always had an insecure comment about everything. I’d go in in at lunch to avoid him (the place was pleasant without him) but he’d pop in and always have something to say. He’d vmake an insulting comment about people who eat cream of brocco…

Just curious what happened to the Early Bird Diner, which seems to have had a good run. It seems is was still open around 2018 - there were posts being made here until then - could it not have survived the pandemic? This tiny Facebook group related to it was only from around 2010-2011

Apparently, there was a disagreement between the landlord and the owner (imagine that). I don’t believe the owner is in Taiwan anymore.

Correct. The owner left several years ago.
