EaterWire: Joss Soft Opens, What's Going on With Michelangelo's, and Even More Keller

BEVERLY HILLS: In addition to The Counter and all the spots that opened around town last Friday, we hear Joss soft opened its new location over the weekend, too. The original Joss closed on Sunset several years ago; the focus at the new location is still Chinese cuisine with a modern health-conscious bent with many standbys.

SILVER LAKE: Now that Michelangelo's closed and will reopen soon on Rowena, a reader queries about the original Silver Lake Boulevard spot: "I just noticed that the rest of the tenants of the building have also abruptly vacated... Are they going to demolish it?" That sounds like a bold move, even for a difficult landlord. We're investigating but anyone with the deets, you know what to do. [Eater Inbox]

YOUNTVILLE: For those of you who actually score French Laundry ressies in the future, you'll now have a new place to stay: After six years of negotiations, Thomas Keller's plans for a luxury inn, working name Aloysius Inn, were approved by the city council. No doubt those 20 rooms will go just as quickly as the FL's 60 seats. [Eater SF]
