From the PR folks….(as I board the plane for muggy Nashville…send me any food suggestions…)“Today we have the pleasure of announcing the newest project from North Bay restaurateur and chef Munther Massarweh: Branches Wood Fired Chop House, a spectacular, 10,500-square-foot restaurant, bakery, butcher shop and pub set to open in Ukiah this summer.
Built from the ground up in the heart of Mendocino County and Northern California’s wine country, Branches is the latest from Chef Massarweh, who opened the successful Wildfox restaurant in Novato 10 years ago. Chef Massarweh, former Executive Chef of the Pump Room in Chicago, is well-known in the North Bay for Wildfox and his catering company, Scrumptious Occasions, and in San Francisco for Tin Pan Asian Bistro which he operated in the late ’90s.”
