Root & Bone announces itself on E. 3rd St.



As reported last week, "Top Chef" alum Jeff McInnis and current "Top Chef" contestant Janine Boothwas are joining forces to open a restaurant called Root & Bone at the former Mama's Food Shop and Heart N' Soul on East Third Street and Avenue B... the exterior is being prepped for the new venture, which "will celebrate Southern foodways," as Food & Wine put it.

    Rag & Bone are going to be elated with the play on their name and logo.

    There was a fresh mural of a skull on that wall a few days ago, nicely done. Dunno if they painted over it or if it's under one of the gates? don't remember the exact spot.

    You know what'd be great? A RESTAURANT I DON'T HAVE TO SKIP RENT IN ORDER TO AFFORD.

    Over/Under on the fried chicken is $33; who wants the bet?
