Sorry, no updates just yet on M.Volt’s anticipated new restaurant , but after chatting up the chef at TOBH, he conceded to arranging a treasure hunt for Eater and will drop clues about the new endeavor, right MV? Anyway, Josh Goldman , former Sommelier at The Langham and M.Volt’s right hand man, also slated to takeover front of house plus vino duties at that upcoming eatery, apparently has some down time (which leads us to believe the restaurant is still a ways off?). So, Josh has decided to partner up with friends George Abou-Daoud (District, Mercantile, Delancey) and District chef Kris Morningstar to take over District ‘s alcohol situation as guest bartender/mixologist starting this Thursday and running for the next few weeks.

Although the dining rooms of the city are filled with many happy couples, they are also inhabited by lovesick diners looking to catch the eye of that special someone. Sometimes, these people take to Craigslist, to try and find that guy or girl who they saw from across the dining room, but weren’t able to muster the courage to say something to. Here now are a few restaurant missed connections — perhaps love is on the menu for these lonely people sometime soon

After a much hyped few months, Food & Wine ‘s first annual Taste of Beverly Hills transpired this past weekend with a star-studded kickoff par-tay Thursday evening, culminating with a not-so-casual bbq Sunday night. Some very big deal LA restaurant personalities graced the festival with their presence (and cooking) including Michael Voltaggio , Walter Manzke , Ludo Lefebvre , plus new west coast import Scott Conant (of soon-to-open Scarpetta) and Tim Love who is rumored to be working on a project in Costa Mesa. But putting aside all the food, wine, and overly inebriated guests (witnessed many of those), the talk of the festival came down to New Yorker, Justin Warner , aka J$ .

In today’s Eaterrogations, Peter Meehan speaks to Joshua David Stein about how cookbooks changed his life, his future projects with David Chang, his love of Sam Sifton, and how hard it is to get inside a chef’s head. He also explains that Chang has just launched a cooking lab in the East Village. We hear it’s located in the former Momofuku office space on East 10th St.: Ferran’s lab is built six months out of the year to specifically develop items on the menu that they’re serving the other six months

This summer, we jumped in our pink Cadillac and hit the road. As we indicated a few months back , our Stateside voyage across to the last frontier was a hotel hunt of epic proportions and turned in some treasure… We couldn’t believe our luck when we stumbled upon Dunton Hot Springs (left), a one-time ghost town, sat snug in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains . The old mining village has been converted into cosy boutique cabins, and you can still have a drink in the original Saloon, where former patrons have included Butch and Sundance.

While the Max’s Kansas City retrospective has been generating a lot of buzz, another bar from the same era but with a very different crowd is also getting the historical treatment . The Terminal Bar was one of the seediest joints in New York in the 1970′s and early 1980′s, hosting a menagerie of pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers and drunks that defined Times Square and the Port Authority area before it was cleaned up

Sometimes owning a restaurant in New York is the second calling of people who struggled to make a name for themselves in Hollywood, either in front of or behind the camera. For a few restaurateurs, it’s the other way around: they get into acting and filmmaking after having already opened successful eateries.

Late in the afternoon on Friday, while most New Yorkers were long gone for Labor Day weekend, Diner’s Journal reported that Amanda Freitag is leaving Tribeca restaurant The Harrison and owner Jimmy Bradley is taking over in the kitchen as he re-negotiates the lease for the space. Presumably, he will succeed in his negotiations, but it’s unclear if the restaurant will live on with the same concept should he re-sign.
