Business Interruption: Burst Pipe From Subzero Temps Closes Restaurant

The parking lot was a skating rink, and the kitchen manager for Twelve Restaurant & Bar — who’d arrived early Tuesday morning to open up the restaurant at 12111 W Maple St. — noticed that it led right up to the front door. When he walked in, the carpet was soggy with two inches of water, and part of the ceiling over the main dining room had collapsed. The culprit: A pipe in the ceiling that had frozen then burst overnight. Twelve — obviously — will be closed for the day on Tuesday, said owner Bryce Kuhn, whose voice sounded shaky when he called. The damage is bad but his insurance company was sending a restoration company right over, he said.
