Kabab King doesn’t have a new owner after all. The Mediterranean restaurant and market closed in late December, and owner Moe Fares announced in January that he had sold the business.

McNally’s Irish Pub is hosting the 24th annual Burns Night on Saturday. The tribute to Scottish poet Robert Burns kicks off with a happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. The traditional address to the haggis will be at 6:30 p.m., and Dakota District Pipes & Drums will play at 7 p.m. In case you’re wondering, the traditional Scottish dish of haggis usually includes an animal’s minced heart, liver and lungs combined with oatmeal, onions, suet and seasoning, and is boiled by using the animal’s stomach as a cooking bag.
