'World Famous' Central MN Chicken Restaurant Will Have New Owner

A ''World Famous Broasted Chicken" bar/restaurant will be getting a new owner, which is what the Brass Rail in Grandy Minnesota posted about recently. Apparently, there were enough rumors floating around that the business felt the need to address them head-on, rather than letting speculation about the business run wild.

We've heard there are a few rumors out there, so we wanted to let you know.

The Brass Rail is currently going through an ownership transition, but we are not closing and are DEFINITELY NOT changing the world-famous broasted chicken and coleslaw—business as usual around here.

Rod will be around for the next few weeks helping the new owner transition before he flies the coop, more to come on them.

If you see Rod around, make sure you congratulate him on his upcoming retirement!

We look forward to seeing you this Mother's Day Weekend.
