"I'm intrigued by Tender Lovin’ Chix, the brick-and-mortar from TLC food truck owner Marques Johnson and Billy Tserenbat that will occupy the former Fire & Nice Alehouse on Lyndale. Johnson calls it the “billion dollar chicken story”: I'll find the same chicken tenders and Tokyo fried rice that made the truck popular, plus new dishes like basil chicken, chicken bulgogi, curry chicken, and wings. I expect a full bar serving sake, an “upscale dive bar” relaxed vibe with pull tabs and TVs for game nights, and possibly karaoke down the line; it's slated to open in early July." - Justine Jones
