The tiny, well-regarded French West African restaurant Korhogo 126 in Carroll Gardens apparently closed its doors for good a couple of weeks ago. Calls to the restaurant are answered with a full mailbox message, and a yellow sign tacked to the front door reads “thank you for all your support,” reports The Word on Columbia Street. You may recall that Korhogo 126 was once called Bouillabaisse 126 back in the day when chef/owner Neil Ganic was on board; Ganic left the business in 2007 (allegedly after “screaming bizarre obscenities in the middle of the sidewalk, muttering to himself incoherently”) then opened La Bouillabaisse in Red Hook and Annabelle’s last year. Both of those establishments have apparenty closed. In the meantime, Korhogo 126’s Abdhul Traore, formerly of Les Enfants Terribles, has presumably moved on to a new restaurant.
