Vella closed

A quick note:

A pretty enjoyable brunch place, Vella Cafe, closed a couple weeks ago. I ran into a couple of the girls who worked there at the Logans Square Farmers Market and they said the new owner was going to open a Mexican-Chinese fusion restaurant.

Addendum:

Apparently, Vella was bought out by the couple who run Urban Belly, which has a weird concept that Chris said he’s going to explain.

Bill Kim: So I have a vision for the food, while Yvonne and Yasmina take that vision along with their own style for the design. What are we calling it?
Yvonne Cadiz-Kim: Reclaimed industrial.
Bill Kim: Right, reclaimed industrial.

Reclaimed industrial? We’ll see, I guess.
