My wife loves Hobees. Every (infrequent) trip to Palo Alto includes breakfast at Hobees. Day after day after day. For the record, it IS possible to eat too many sweet potato pancakes in four days of earnest noshing. We'll be out there next week. The dilemma: do I tell her Hobees is closing and risk a memorial binge, or stay silent hoping the Town and Country closing puts her into a funk and she just stops eating breakfast? Maybe keep the second Hobees location as a secret option depending on whether she initiates meltdown sequence?
