Last fall it was reported that a Mexican restaurant was being planned for a new development being built at the site of the old Boston Garden. Now we have learned that a celebrity chef and restaurateur will be behind it, teaming up with a local hospitality and entertainment company.
According to an article in The Boston Globe and a post from Eater Boston, Guy Fieri's Tequila Cocina is going to be opening at the Hub on Causeway, with Fieri and Big Night Entertainment Group (BNEG) being behind the place. The articles mention that the new restaurant will be set up within a music hall and nightclub called Big Night Live, with the dining spot having seating for 185 and featuring Latin American street food along with an array of tequilas. If all goes as planned, Guy Fieri's Tequila Cocina could be opening in late September.
Guy Fieri is known in part for such shows as "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" and "Guy's Big Bite," and he also runs a number of restaurants including Guy's Foxwoods Kitchen + Bar in Connecticut.
[October 28 update: The Boston Globe says that Guy Fieri's Tequila Cocina opens this Thursday (which happens to be Halloween), while Big Night Live--and the Studio B at the Hub events space--opens on Thursday as well.]
