BEVERLY HILLS— Opening next Friday comes bar210 and plush located at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica. While both spaces fall into the lounge category, bar210 will serve a small place menu headed by Top Cheffer Marcel Vigneron. More to come. [EaterWire]

DOWNTOWN— Reps for the 800 Wilshire Group have confirmed that owners did file for the dreaded chapter 11. According to this posting, it all went down Feb 8, though there are no plans to shutter Provecho or Remedy. [EaterWire]

DOWNTOWN— Two ambitious souls are taking another stab at the "food truck corner" concept. Shawna Dawson (SauceLA) and Sonja Rasula (Unique LA) created the "LA Street Food Fest," happening tomorrow from 11AM - 5PM at LA Center Studios. More than 35 food trucks and street carts are slated to arrive. The marquee truck will no doubt be Ludo Lefebvre's with his signature fried chicken. Bring wads of cash to sample small bites priced $1 - $5. Also look for two donation-based cash bars (beer and cocktails) that will be stocked with event sponsors' beverages, including New Belgium Brewing, PAMA Liquer, Lunazul Tequila, and Singha. Go to here for a complete list of vendors. [EaterWire] —YI
