Is it being run by Lacey Burrows? Do they sell chilli-cheese dogs?

Yep, it opened on the 20th I think.

 

Owner is Chris Jones, partnered with a gentleman named Josh Goyert, both are ex-Laurel Point.

 

Kitchen Manager is one of my old cooks, Richard Caron, who was most recently slinging eggs and hollandaise at Jam Cafe.  He's an excellent cook.  I gather the emphasis is on breakfast/brunch with a special focus on rotisserie chicken, making that stretch of Douglas 'chicken row'.

 

Matt.

They were at Cullinaire this year. The guy said they were opening "tomorrow" (so that would have been last friday).

Pic Nic in the 1000 block of Fort Street had paper over its windows yesterday... I am not sure if this means closure of renovation?

How the heck did they get that extra sidewalk for an expanded patio?
