New Restaurants Underway From Chefs Villani, Miyake

Two popular Portland restaurant groups are planning new enterprises to open in Spring 2013. Jay Villani of Local 188 and Sonny's is building out the former Architectural Salvage building on Congress Street for, yes, Salvage BBQ & Smokehouse, boldly announced in their newsletter as "the best BBQ in Maine." Masa Miyake is expanding his empire by reopening his original 129 Spring Street location as Food Factory Miyake, "a BYOB casual restaurant serving Japanese comfort food," according to Portland Food Map.
