Lukshon Almost Ready, Orso Updates, MORE

1) Culver City: Well, from the looks of it (sorry, not the best photo), Sang Yoon's Lukson should open any day now. On a recent trip over, appeared that an outdoor patio was still being built, stay tuned. [EaterWire]

2) Mid-City: WHAT is going on with the old Orso? Sean MacPherson (Roger Room, Bar Lubitsch) took control of the space over a year ago and still nada. Wtf? According to a construction worked on site, the venue should reopen sometime between January and March, right now we see rich wooden floors and a case of wine against a wall. Word on the street is that "the owner" (we gauge, MacPherson) wasn't happy with the original buildout and made workers tear it down and start over. That could explain the hold up. Right now the patio is still in shambles with additional unfinished areas. [EaterWire]

3) Long Beach: With regard to that new outpost of Beachwood BBQ, owners expect it to open before next summer. [EaterWire]
