Taylor Charles Steak & Ice, the H Street NE cheesesteak spot from the owners of Taylor Gourmet, has been closed in recent days with paper covering the windows. It’s unclear if or when it will reopen.

Co-owner Casey Patten did not respond to requests for comment.

“All we can say right now is cheesesteaks are not dead,” says publicist Doug Rashid. “I’ll have some real info for you soon.”

Stay tuned!

UPDATE: Taylor Gourmet’s owners have registered a new LLC for “Taylor Gourmet Ballpark” at Taylor Charles Steak & Ice’s address. Hot dogs perhaps?
