Can it be? An Avenue A Reincarnation?

Steve Barnes' blog, Table Hopping reports that former chef, Un-Hui Filomeno, of the former Avenue A (home of some fantastic and creative dishes, not to mention a stellar wine list), will be the chef-owner of "Mingle".
The new restaurant will be housed in the old Avenue A location (544 Delaware Avenue in Albany) and is scheduled to open in November (my fingers are crossed).
Un-Hui Filomeno will run the new operation with her son Jose, who also played a major role at Avenue A. According to Steve's blog, Jose will be cooking at the restauarant on Mondays and Tuesdays, when the menu will feature organic, raw, gluten-free and vegan specials (can I say Yay?!!). Overall, the menu is reported to include an expanded selection of Korean food - its about time Capital Region...
Now if only we can wait another few weeks until the opening...
