Recent Developments
On May 15, 2009, Marcus E. Jundt, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer,
resigned as an officer and as a director of our company.
Effective May 15, 2009, Mark Bartholomay, the Companys Chief Operating Officer, began serving
as our interim President and Chief Executive Officer, until a permanent successor to Mr. Jundt has
been identified and appointed. Our Nominating Committee has commenced a search for qualified
candidates. Mr. Bartholomay has served as our Chief Operating Officer since November 2008, and
prior to that was our Senior Vice President of Development since May 2007. Mr. Bartholomay has over
12 years of experience in real estate development, construction, prototype design, operations, and
finance. Mr. Bartholomay served as the Founder and Senior Partner of GBG Consulting, LLC, a private
restaurant consulting firm from July 2005 until May 2007. From July 2000 to June 2005, he served as
Vice President of Business Development at Famous Daves of America, Inc., a publicly traded owner,
operator, and franchisor of restaurants. Prior to that, Mr. Bartholomay served as Senior Vice
President of International Development and Operations at Rainforest Cafe, Inc., a publicly traded
restaurant company. Mr. Bartholomay served as a member of our board of directors between

non-compliance with applicable NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, which require the Board of Directors to be
comprised of a majority of independent directors and our Audit Committee to be comprised of at
least three independent directors.

On May 18, 2009, we received an unsolicited expression of interest from Mill Road Capital
L.P., our second largest stockholder, to acquire all of our outstanding shares of capital stock in
a cash merger transaction at a price of $4.60 per share. Our board of directors, in consultation
with its outside financial advisors and legal counsel, intends to evaluate Mill Road Capital L.P.s
proposal carefully and in due course, within the context of our overall strategic and financial
plans, and will respond to the proposal appropriately in the best interest of all of our
stockholders.
