More Blue 5 news

culinaryschool%20003.jpg

I found this flyer on a bulletin board out at Virginia Western Community College today. Proof, you see, that Kerry Hurley's new restaurant, Blue 5, is moving right along toward an opening date. Blue 5 is going in the old Noketown Bar & Grill location on 2nd Street. In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that I really do not have such great sleuthing skills. I happened upon this flyer only after a blog reader named Chris yesterday sent me a link to the Blue 5 Web site. I assume that Chris is somehow involved in the restaurant. That's okay, I like getting the inside scoop. According to the site, Hurley is looking to open the doors next month. He's already hired a chef named Richard Henri Todeschini, who is described on the site as "renowned." I'll have to get with Hurley and Todeschini soon to learn all about the chef's background. The site mentions a few dishes planned for the menu, including a barbecue sandwich, signature Blue 5 Burger, bacon-wrapped monkfish and ginger sesame tuna. I'm hungry. Stay tuned for more information on this new spot.
