Eating your words

Although the owner of the diner that insisted patrons speak English maintains that his policy has nothing to do with its closing, being rude to people can't be the best business model

The restaurant's owner, Greg Simons, closed his restaurant on Wednesday.

Simons made waves in March when he posted a sign on the door banning customers who don't speak English.

Simons said the closure has nothing to do with the sign, but that he needs to tend to his mother's health and doesn't have time to devote to the restaurant.
