"After helping launch Temp° in Chula Vista last fall, chef Steve Brown has left the South Bay restaurant to focus on creating a brick-and-mortar home for Cosecha, his signature upscale pop-up. Despite some stops and starts, Brown says he’s on the verge of signing a lease on a centrally-located space that will house a catering kitchen and hold an intimate 14-seat dining counter where the chef will cook nightly prix-fixe dinners in an environment he likens to a Michelin-caliber sushi restaurant. Operating partners Mikey Knab and Tecture design group will continue to run Temp°, which serves a bistro menu as well as steakhouse specials and has been well received by the Chula Vista community. Starting this weekend, the restaurant will start delivering food to neighboring beer spot Bar Sin Nombre, with plans to extend the service to Thr3e Punk Ales and other area beer bars and tasting rooms." - Candice Woo
