Some things just aren’t meant for this world. One of those things apparently is TruOrleans—the H Street New Orleans-inspired cajun joint.

After a turbulent year, well documented by Young & Hungry—in which it faced numerous lawsuits, suspended liquor licenses, and potential eviction from its landlord—it looks like the thing that did it in was unpaid taxes.

Earlier today, ANC commissioner Mark Eckenwiler tweeted a photo of a suspension notice on the window of the restaurant’s 400 H Street NE digs.

Y&H reports that the the insurmountable debt the restaurant has found itself in, is the reason why it finally got shut down.

A tax lien filed with the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue’s Recorder of Deeds on July 12 shows that the restaurant owes more than $101,000 in sales and use tax, penalties, and interest.

DCist reached out to TruOrleans for a request for comment, but no one at the restaurant could be reached.

We’ll update as soon as we know more about the extent of TruOrleans’ legal troubles.
