Just wanted to let you all now that it’s official – I will be opening up R Gang Eatery in June! Located at 3683 5th Ave, I will be taking over the space from Joe & Lisa Busalacchi – they are moving Busalacchi’s on Fifth (which has been in the same location for 24 years!!!) just a few doors down, so we’ll all be neighbors! R Gang Eatery will feature a Contemporary Retro-American menu, in a fun, open, fluid space that will have you craving more food, and staying for more cocktails!

Stay tuned for more info to come, and I can’t wait to see you all at R Gang Eatery!

What are YOUR favorite…..

As I have mentioned on WannaBChef.com before, and many of the local publications have been discussing, I’m in the process of searching for a restaurant to call my own. This has been a lengthy process which has required not only time and attention, but also a creative eye to take an existing (or raw) space, and envision my own restaurant. Now, I think that we have found a location, we have submitted the paperwork to the landlord….and we wait….

While I tear my hair out playing the waiting game, I figured I should get a little jumpstart on WannaBChef’s actual content of the site. Please bear with me, as we are working to have a comments section, and an e-mailing list put on the site…but all the good stuff takes time )
