Another Hollywood Meltdown

Posted Apr 28th 2008 1:38PM by TMZ Staff

A fire burned down beloved Hollywood restaurant "Off Vine" yesterday. Did someone order well done?
Off Vine goes up in flames
The converted old craftsman style house was a low-key Hollywood rarity that served up yummy eats minus the side of douchiness.

Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey says no diners or employees at the restaurant were hurt in Sunday evening's blaze, which was most likely caused by faulty wiring. According to a patron's account on LAist.com, while diners and servers got out safely, nobody warned the cooks that a fire had broken out and only later did a valet run back to get them. Talk about not throwing the cook a bone.

2. This is a genuine tragedy, but TMZ can't help themselves, they have to make the un-necessary sarcastic comment.

Karma is a wonderful thing, so let see how smug you are when one of your homes burn down.

3. What a descriptive and well phrased critique. If the place hadnt burned down I'd be flying to So Cal. Its not everyday you find a restaurant that leaves out the side of 'douchiness'.

".....yummy eats minus the side of douchiness."

So, what exactly douchiness and how is it served and prepared?
