The Sneeze Guard Gang's Double Concept Restaurant to be paid for by you paying for their $130 Fundraising Dinners
The Sneeze Guard Gang otherwise known as the trio of owners that used to run Kappo (website) inside East End Market has announced the location of their long-awaited post-East End Market location:
Winter Park Road in Audubon Park. Orlando Weekly's guess about the exact location is that it'll be O'Strobolli-adjacent.
Based on O'Stromboli's recent health inspections, we recommend another location.
The restaurant will have two restaurants inside it, what we dub the "double concept." We predict one concept is a to-go grab-and-go lunch counter and the other is table service.
The dinners will take place at the rooftop showroom of the Unique Diamond Boutique.
Why we call them the Sneeze Guard Gang:
- June 23-26
- July 7-10
- July 14-17
- July 21-24
- July 28-30

In August 2015, when DBPR demanded Kappo build a sneeze guard and address all 28 of their Health Violations, Kappo lawyered up, refused to speak directly with the state agency, started an online petition asking people to ask the Mayor to help them and threatened to shut down.
The DBPR backed down and allowed them to operate without a sneeze guard.
They were the only restaurant in Orlando that serves uncooked food without this requirement.
Three months later they shut down anyway.
