‘STAFF TRAINING’

A message on the Blaze restaurant’s website now says the venue is closed on Thursday for “staff training”, but the reality star and her husband aim to get things back up and running by Friday.

However, fans on social media were quick to comment about the recent shooting.

“I’m such a big fan of Kandi and them! This was just so unprofessional - better employees are needed,” wrote one on Instagram.

The steakhouse claims to “introduce fine dining to southwest Atlanta” and implements a dress code.

Besides Blaze, singer Kandi also runs Old Lady Gang, a southern restaurant, with Todd.

PRESSURE COOKER

But this isn’t the first time that their steakhouse has been forced to close its doors.

On May 20, 2021, the restaurant shut down to address issues cited in a health report.

The restaurant had failed its health inspection after a food handler was caught switching from raw seafood to ready-to-eat foods without washing their hands.

However, there were no bugs or rodents on the premises.

Season 14 of the popular reality show is available to watch on Bravo.
