"Restaurants are difficult at the best of times, and when something like this happens, it is absolutely devastating," Lachaine said. "We all knew this was going to happen, something was going to happen. And it's kind of frustrating when we're supposed to be ready all the time, and hunker down or do this or do that, and when it comes time for someone else to do their job, nobody's ready.
Buzbee says the lawsuit will focus on restaurants that have been in business for over a year and lost power for at least 48 hours. He wants the suit to energize action and change. Robin Wong is another restauranteur who agrees that losing power is devastating. One of his restaurants is Luloo's in Garden Oaks.
