There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:
- Columbus Alive broke the news this week that Chef Avishar Barua is stepping back from day-to-day operations at Service Bar (which, in a separate announcement, said it will be re-opening soon) and is opening his own cafe called Joya in the former Sassafras Bakery space in Old Worthington.
- The fried chicken carryout Fried Chicka Bang re-opened for lunch this week after a hiatus. You can order pickup or delivery from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily from their Sancus Boulevard location inside Sunny Street Cafe.
- Multiple outlets reported that Cameron Mitchell Restaurants will open an as-yet-unnamed Italian concept in the former G. Michael’s space in German Village.
