It's strange. That picture of a chef w/ a pig makes me think of a cat playing with a mouse.

Word on the street is that the Brouwer's/Bottleworks guys are opening something at the Bandolero space.

Probably not worth arguing about, but it's bothered me when I've gone past so I'll point out that "Pecado Bueno" doesn't actually translate to "sin well". It translates to "good sin", sin in its noun form. "Sin well" would be "peca bien".

The CD Blog announced yesterday that the Twilight Exit folks are opening something in the Thompson’s Point of View space.

@3 You beat me to it. For Spanish learners I might add: bueno is an adjective, bien is an adverb.

I work across the street from Bad Albert's. They're not quite open yet, looks like they've still got some work to do.

@4 YAY-yuh !

@3 & @5, Oh yes. The fact that the "translation" is on their large main sign is pretty frightening. They also managed to misspell habanero in their salsa bar.

The food is good however, in the new burgeoning genre of "authentic mexican food as envisioned by white people" (ala The Yard, Poquitos, etc.).

@2 really? That would be awesome.

I went to Bandelero once and it was ... fine. But it was also really, really crowded, so I was surprised when it closed down.

@2 That would be awesome. We've already got Latona Pub and Elysian Tangletown, but more beer-centric places in the Greenlake area is a fantastic thing.
