CHICAGO -- A late-night fire destroyed a brand-new restaurant that had been just about all ready to open in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood.Chicago food truck owner John Nguyen had just needed to pass a health inspection for his new restaurant, Lunchbox, at 1535 W. Devon Ave. The inspection had been scheduled for Thursday morning.

John installed things like the tile on the wall himself.The fire destroyed all that work.'I'm disappointed and sad. I know it can be rebuilt, but my time that I put in – I can't buy that back,' said John Ngyuen. 'A lot of time.'John and Tanya Nguyen returned Thursday afternoon to survey the damage – which includes a large hole in the roof, puddles of water, and smoke-stained walls.They are not sure how long it will take to recover, but giving up is not an option.
