Jack Kuntz, Clayton’s economic development director, praised the concept just before the city’s board of zoning appeals approved plans in February.
“Anytime you have a unique restaurant idea in a community that is looking for diverse culinary options, it’s a good thing,” Kuntz said. “The people will appreciate another restaurant option.”
