It's the late-night takeaway spot that's kept Canberra partygoers and hospitality workers well fed for more than 45 years - but the Civic Chicken Gourmet is no more. The iconic fast food restaurant located at 131 City Walk - just a stone's throw from the city's numerous nightclubs - officially closed two weeks ago and is being revamped into a pizza and pasta restaurant. It will remain under the ownership and management of Canberra's fried chicken guru Gerry Sanfrancesco, but the standard hot chips and gravy in the Civic taxi line at 2am will be a thing of the past. There were plenty of crying emojis and 'Noooooooooo's on Facebook on Wednesday night, as The Canberra Times broke the news to devastated Canberrans.
