>>Leslie Harlib's Cuisine Scene: Roxanne's deli closes

>>

>>Wednesday, September 22, 2004 - In a sad finale to the story that broke in

>>this column last month, Roxanne's To Go in Larkspur shut down last week.

>>The closure of the raw food deli signals the end of the unique 212-year

>>reign of haute raw cuisine that restaurateurs Michael and Roxanne Klein

>>brought to Marin.

>> " Michael and I are getting a divorce, " said Roxanne Klein. " Because of

>>this, I cannot go on with my business. I can't get investors to do

>>anything further with my name because of the nature of my business

>>partnership with Michael. He decided it was going to be all over. It's not

>>a good situation. But hopefully, once things get settled, one way or other

>>I want to go on with my passion for raw food cooking, and for things I

>>hope to do with my community. "

>>Klein told me she's planning to stay in the Bay Area, even though, because

>>of legal issues, she's not able to open any raw food establishment at this

>>time. She says she's working on another book, following the success of the

>>stunning " Raw, " (Ten Speed Press, 2003) a glossy cookbook she co-authored

>>with celebrity chef and Chicago restaurateur Charlie Trotter.

>> " I trust things will get worked out soon, " Klein said, " In which case I

>>would love to get back to doing some raw food things in Marin. I'm talking

>>about creating some products, that would hopefully be available in Whole

>>Foods and Safeway. All will have to take a little time. "

>>As of this writing, Michael Klein could not be reached for comment.
