This is Keneth (back right). This photo was taken on New Year’s Eve of 2019 when it was just the three of us working that night. Yesterday we heard the tragic news that Keneth passed away suddenly. He was part of our BOH crew for almost two years and words can’t describe how heartbroken we are. He was a giant of a man, in physical stature, and in the size of his gentle heart and indomitable spirit. He was funny, and kind (although he’d deny the last part, for sure) and had so much love for his wife, his grandma, his mom and sisters, his niece, his bunnies, his sneakers, anything at all related to wrestling… and Glee. Because that’s the kind of man Keneth was. Keneth, you will be missed so, so much. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to know you and to work with you. Our deepest sympathies to his wife Sophia and his family. Rest in power, friend. There is a gofundme set up to help his wife with the funeral expenses if anyone would like to donate: https://www.gofundme.com/f/kenneth-mendozas-funeral?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

We cleaned and we cleaned and we cleaned yesterday. We left our space looking bright and shiny, even though our bodies, minds, and hearts, were exhausted and hurting. And as we were getting ready to lock up one final time and hadn’t even realised that we hadn’t given a single thought to what we should do about dinner, our neighbour Amr appeared at the back door with a bag laden with food for us. Amr, thank you for being the best neighbour we could wish for these past two years. The proximity of our back doors, and our front doors, our shared cuisine, and Esam’s pita, has often made us feel like we are just one big kitchen with a wall in the middle. In fact, we often joked about just cutting a hole in the wall to make life easier 😃We remember the first time you came over to literally borrow “a cup of sugar” with a laugh, and how we embraced the energy of goods exchanges. Parchment paper, olive oil, garlic, tasting samples, lemons, pita bread, recipe ideas, onions, takeout containers and of course sugar have passed between our two kitchens over the years - our barter-market vibe was strong!!! 🥰 Thank you for nourishing our bodies, and our souls, for your generosity of spirit, and for holding us up on those days when we needed a little support. We hope we’ve given you as much in energy-exchange as you have given us (but we highly doubt it!) Thank you for the delicious food, and the symbolism of the powerful Ankh on our sustenance was not lost on us!

With deep sadness and incredibly heavy hearts, we would like to say that Rikkochez will be permanently shutting down operations on December 7th, 2020, and that our last day of service will be Sunday December 6th.

‎In one way or another, this pandemic, and the response to it, has affected everyone. For us, we have gone through the gamut of emotions. And while our hearts wanted to hang on and see this through, our heads asked us to consider the reality. In these times we wanted to remain hopeful, but the uncertainty of what comes next and when it will come, was too much to bear for the future of our restaurant. We will leave having created many, many positive memories and friendships.

This gig has been satisfying and gratifying, terrifying and exhilarating, joyous and stressful and amazing and educational and adrenalising. And sometimes (more recently) surreal and unreal. But most importantly, it's been So. Much. Fun. And more than anything, it has been an absolutely pleasure-filled ‎experience meeting all our guests, and serving up the love that we have for food.

We want to thank the AMAZING Danforth community for their continued support‎.

We are a very small team now. If you'd like to order from us during this final week, please help us when possible‎ by pre-ordering so that we can manage workflow and inventory. You can pre-order by emailing us at [email protected].

We w‎ill continue with our community posts until we've shared all of our memories and show what your love for our food has meant to us.

Stay safe, friends ✌️💜
