1) Around Town: Ryan Sweeney of Verdugo and The Surly Goat is ready for his third beer bar. Right now he's working on a place tentatively called Little Bear with an unnamed partner. Sweeney says the new watering hole is "a work in progress," more details to come in about a week or so. [EaterWire]

2) Around Town: Downtown's two and a half year old wine bar, Corkbar, is looking to branch out with a second location. Owners are scouting spaces at the moment, no specific neighborhood selected just yet. [EaterWire]

3) Northridge: Aside from expansion to Hollywood, Chick-fil-A will also open at 8875 Tampa Ave on October 27. Still no word on when Hwood will debut. [EaterWire]
