Marcona Brings Gourmet Sandwiches to Melrose

Early next year Melrose (potentially February 2011) lands a new sandwich shop called Marcona, set to a small menu of east coast comfort fare and sandwiches with European influences. Overseeing this venture is Collier Ulrich, an NY area native who moved to LA and worked in production for some time before decided to pursue his real passion, food and restaurants. In the kitchen one will find accomplice Matthew Moss, out of Chicago, who most recently helped open District, the one in in Chi-Town, not LA. Anyway, the lease was signed just about a week and a half ago, stay tuned for more. [EaterWire]
