No more Salgado
Just a year after Carlos Salgado took the reins at the all-day King’s Highway restaurant inside the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, it seems that deal has now disappeared. Salgado, chef/owner of the immensely popular modern Mexican restaurant Taco Maria in Orange County, initially started up in late December 2016, with plans to bring casual Alta California fare to the desert and its many weekend travelers. Now that deal is finished.
Salgado first announced the end of the arrangement on his Twitter account over the weekend, saying that as of December he has not been involved, and that with the current restaurant still operating on property “neither the food, drink or experience represent our work, our voice, or our values.” He adds that he will miss his time there, and that he wishes the staff well. The Ace Hotel, for its part, says it wishes Salgado nothing but the best as he continues to focus on Taco Maria.
Sad to say that neither I nor my restaurant @TacoMaria are any longer affiliated in any way with @acehotel Palm Springs. As of Dec 2017, neither the food, drink or experience represent our work, our voice, or our values. Beautiful place. I will miss it & I wish the staff well.

Bagels, part one
The Tinfoil Liquor team is expanding its repertoire to include morning bagels out in Highland Park, says the LA Times. Owner Jeremy Fall will be competing in the area with everyone from Maury’s to Courage Bagels to Belles Bagels just around the way on York.

Speaking of bagels, Maury’s owner Jason Kaplan finally has the keys to his space in Silver Lake. It’s still currently a shell, but expect production (and takeaway sales) very soon.
