Awesome Restaurant Makeover!

OK. I am not saying that the other makeovers are not real. However, this one is the first one that happened so close to me. So for me it is REAL reality TV!.

George Vassos, owner of the Golden Flame Family Restaurant, is a good friend of mine. When we were on vacation in Mexico earlier this month, his restaurant underwent the RM project. It took the crew a week (from Sept 5 to 12) to take down all the old fixtures and then renovate and up with the new stuff.

Tonight was the re-opening party. A lot of local dignitaries were present with former Richmond Hill mayor William Bell doing the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Other dignitaries included Richmond Hill Ward 3 Councillor David Cohen, Regional Councillor Vito Spatafora, Richmond Hill Federal Conservative candidate CS Leung, Provincial PC Richmond Hill candidate Alex Yuan and, last but not least, Richmond Hill Liberal MP Bryon Wilfert. Mr. Wilfert was kind enough to present to the Vassos a large Canadian flag with an official congrats message from the Government of Canada.

Other guests amongst the party tonight were members from the Vassos family and obviously regular customers of the Golden Flame ... like me!

The particular episode of Restaurant Makeover will be aired some time in late December this year. Stay tuned for the schedule.
