Restaurants Revive Lost Favorites and Plan Returns

A Pennsylvania food truck is recreating snack-bar favorites from Ohio-founded Hills Department Store, while Winky’s, a once-expanding Pennsylvania burger chain, is recalled as a business lost to economic pressure and competition. Los Angeles landmark Cole’s, which closed after nearly 118 years, could reopen in November under new operators if its liquor license is approved. Cleveland-area Moxie is set to return at Legacy Village with signature dishes and new offerings, and its owners plan an adjacent upscale speakeasy. In Wichita, new owners of Larkspur Bistro & Bar have substantially refreshed its menu, reworking some classics and drawing mixed reactions from longtime patrons.
