According to a source within the industry, news of the passing Ed Hancock of Tavolo in Dorchester has come out over the past few hours, with little in the way of details given at this point in time. Hancock had been manager of the Dorchester Avenue restaurant for the past few months and had previously been general manager at Tasty Burger in Boston, and before that, he had worked at several other restaurants both here and outside of the region, including Bonfire Restaurant in Park Plaza, where he was general manager. (He worked at restaurants in Michigan and California over the past decade as well.)
