LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Santa Monica sushi restaurant that's facing charges of serving illegal and endangered whale meat is closing its doors.
A statement posted on the restaurant's Web site, thehump.biz, says it's voluntarily closing its doors on Saturday after a sushi chef was allegedly caught serving whale meat.
Typhoon Restaurant Inc., the parent company of The Hump, and the chef were each charged with a misdemeanor count of selling a marine
mammal product for an unauthorized purpose.
Gary S. Lincenberg, an attorney for Typhoon, has said the restaurant accepted responsibility for the wrongdoing.
