From The Tipline

Reader Reginald Brown reminds Eater that Palena was special to many communities, not just the restaurant industry. "My wine club met at Palena regularly for years," he writes. "No matter what wines we brought, Frank would make dishes for us that worked. We sent him these flowers and a magnum of 2000 bordeaux on Friday in honor of the year Palena opened. He will be missed."
