What’s become of Susie Priore’s grand neighborhood restaurant Iris, which shuttered April Fool’s weekend after burning out from competition and undercapitalizing sclerosis?

She’s also consulting with Frank Tolbert’s Chili House Products and the bowls of red that will soon appear on retail shelves. Or is it retail freezers? --Mark Stuertz
