Have you heard the news that an actual, viable restaurant is taking over the long-underwhelming corner of Gough and Hayes, across from Absinthe? Yes, as we reported last month, the former Terra Bakery space that was Essencia a few years back (401 Gough) is becoming a new location of Chez Maman, and Tablehopper brings word today that the opening is on Monday, July 16. Also she reports that chef Russell Cab, who’s also worked at owner Jocelyn Bulow’s Potrero Mexican spot Papito’s, is going to be mixing up the menu for the new spot including Chez Maman classics like the burger and mussels with things like quesadillas and tacos. So, this should be interesting/odd. [Tablehopper]
