A couple of years ago, we reported that a food and cultural market was on its way to a complex in Boston's Fenway that is being redeveloped. Now we have learned that some big local names will be opening places within the food hall.
According to an article in The Boston Globe, Time Out Boston at the old Landmark Center on Park Drive will see such chefs and restaurateurs as Tony Maws (Craigie on Main, Kirkland Tap & Trotter), Michael Schlow (Tico), Tim and Nancy Cushman (Hojoko, O Ya), and Peter Ungar (Tasting Counter), with Maws focusing on his famous Craigie burger, Schlow offering Italian dishes, the Cushmans setting up two kitchens featuring sushi and other Asian fare, and Ungar offering what looks to be inventive, locally-sourced dishes. The article also mentions that outposts of Anoush'ella (a South End restaurant featuring Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fare) and Union Square Donuts will set up shop at the food hall as well, with the place ultimately including fifteen restaurants, two bars, a retail shop, and a demo kitchen.
As mentioned earlier, the food hall coming to the Landmark Center will be a location of Lisbon's Time Out Market, which the Time Out media company first opened in Lisbon in 2014.
[April 2 update: A job post within the Craigslist site indicates that the two dining spots from Tim and Nancy Cushman at the upcoming Time Out Boston food hall will apparently be called "Ms. Clucks Deluxe Chicken and Dumplings" and "gogo ya crispy sushi nori tacos."]
[April 22 update: More places have been announced for Time Out Market, with a press release stating that locations of Mamaleh's, BISq, George Howell Coffee, Revolution Health Kitchen, and Gelato & Chill will be opening there, and Michael Schlow--who is already bringing an Italian eatery to the market--will also be opening a second concept that focuses on Roman-style pizza.]
[April 30 update: A post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com indicates that Peter Ungar of Tasting Counter will be opening Tasty Counter at Time Out Market, with the place featuring "seasonally-inspired, from-scratch small plates composed of locally sourced ingredients."]
[June 18 update: A press release mentions that Time Out Market opens on June 27, and that two more places have been announced for the food hall--Saltie Girl, a seafood restaurant whose original location is in the Back Bay, and Mobile Cooks, which will focus on locally-sourced vegan fare.]
