Lexington rallied around the restaurant owner after he suffered severe burns from dropping boiling peanut oil on himself in a 2014 workplace accident. Fans of the restaurant raised over $50,000 for medical bills and expenses related to running the business in his absence.
Sav opened his grill in 2008. His ice cream shop, Sav’s Chill, will remain open. The hours for Chill are Sunday through Wednesday 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday through Saturday through 1 p.m. – 10 p.m.
