Source Readies the "Cluck Scampi," Eat Me At The Vin Club Joins Broadway Strip Clubs and More

POTRERO - With its state-altering elixir bar, water wall, color therapy, sound therapy and veggie-friendly "meats" named oink, cluck, moo and quack; this Source "multi-dimensional dining experience" is going to be something else.

NORTH BEACH - Tablehopper has the skinny on Eat Me At The Vin Club, a take-out sandwich spot coming to 515 Broadway from the owners of Luella and Tomasso's.

THE MISSION - The Pollo Campero Guatemalan fried chicken joint angling for 2740 Mission Street went before the Planning Commission yesterday and its permit was approved with conditions. If things work out, it will be the first Pollo Campero in the U.S. to follow the brand's original Central American business model of a full service restaurant. Our Mission branch will have 70 employees and a huge 1,250 square foot back patio, but as Signore Lucchesi notes, there's lots of NIMBY opposition related specifically to the large patio. So everything's in limbo right now as Pollo Campero retools its argument for the next meeting on the 19th. [GrubStreet, EaterWire, ISSF]
