The Fat Duck is still open, has three Michelin stars and is booked out months in advance. Possibly not the best example of a reputation being destroyed or a business being killed.

True, I could have worded that better—I meant it as a high-profile example of a restaurant that could have been destroyed by norovirus.

It lost a Micehelin star for a while which is often portrayed as a disaster for a restaurant but, as you rightly point out, it bounced back.
