What’s cooking: New eateries, a new Fergusons, and other deals
Mexican popup Ferguson’s preview?
The Fremont East neighborhood will get its first taste of chef Mariana Alvarado this month, and it may not be the last. The Mexican-born chef is partnered with chef Gary LaMorte’s Honest Hospitality in Masazul, a company that sells tortillas and other heirloom corn products online. She’ll host a popup dinner, showcasing four heirloom corn varietals, Jan. 24 at the Vegas Test Kitchen, 1020 Fremont St. But we’re told she and Honest Hospitality also are discussing a new concept for the Fergusons Downtown space that was previously home to La Monja. More on that later; tickets for the Jan. 24 dinner will be available this week at secretburger.com.
Good Pie opening dine-in
The new Good Pie location at 1212 S. Main St., which opened for takeout last month, will add dine-in service on Valentine’s Day. “This is first time we’re seating people at an actual table,” Vincent Rotolo said. “This is the first time I’m serving my food on real plates, with real silverware, real glasses and real trays. This is what I’ve been waiting for.” His Feb. 14 menu will include a few specials that are still being worked out, but he’s adamant there will not be any heart-shaped pizzas! goodpie.com
