EAST HAMPTON— Grub Street learns that 30 year-old Hamptons standby The Laundry has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Owner Stewart Chrysler made the move before Thanksgiving in order to deal with creditors, including 'the Suffolk County National Bank, which is owed $597,000, and the IRS, which is owed $129,000'. Though still open five nights a week, the outlook is bleak. [GS via Curbed Hamptons]
