A popular suburban diner is closed after suffering serious damage in a fire.
According to several sources, including a post from NBC Boston, Budabing's 50's Cafe in Millis was hit by a blaze overnight that went to two alarms and caused the roof of the Main Street structure to collapse. It appears that the restaurant may be a total loss, as a tweet from @MichaelHenrich of Boston 25 news says that the building is expected to be demolished this morning. No injuries were reported in a blaze.
Budabing's 50's Cafe, which has been in business for more than 20 years, has been known for its retro atmosphere and its classic diner food including pancakes, waffles, burgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, meatloaf, turkey dinner, and steak tips.
The address for Budabing's 50's Cafe is 1060 Main Street (Route 109), Millis, MA, 02054. Its website can be found at https://budabings50scafe.com/
[June 6 update: Wicked Local confirms that the structure housing Budabing's 50's Cafe was torn down yesterday; it is not yet known if the owners will rebuild, so keep checking back for more updates.]
[July 1 update: A new article from Wicked Local states that the owner of Budabing's 50's Cafe is looking for a new space (with the hope being that he would find one in Millis), and that the Millis Lions Club is helping to raise money for expenses not covered by insurance.]

Nantasket Flatts Kitchen and Bar Opens in Hull
A new dining and drinking spot has opened across from a popular South Shore beach, and the people behind another South Shore restaurant and bar are apparently behind this place.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Nantasket Flatts Kitchen and Bar is now open in Hull, moving into the space on Nantasket Avenue where Rinato Bistro had been, and before that, Bridgeman's, where Paul Wahlberg of Wahlburgers was an Executive Chef for a number of years. The website and Facebook page for the new spot indicate that it offers modern American fare in a casual atmosphere, with the focus being on "apps and handhelds" while also serving full entrees and seasonal seafood specials along with beer, wine, and cocktails.
Based on posts within its Facebook page, Nantasket Flatts has a connection to The Jetty, a restaurant and bar that is located in the Brant Rock section of Marshfield.
The address for Nantasket Flatts is 145 Nantasket Avenue, Hull, MA, 02045. Its website can be found at http://www.nantasketflatts-hull.com/

Casa Razdora to Open in Former Crumbs Space in Boston's Financial District
It looks like an Italian restaurant in downtown Boston that was once featured on a popular food show is opening a new location in the heart of the city, and this one could have a slightly different focus.
According to a Twitter post from @thompspicks, Casa Razdora is planning to open on Federal Street, with another source (Geoff Wong) sending a photo that shows a sign out front for the eatery. The sign mentions that the new location will offer takeout and catering, though it is not yet known if it will also have seating like that of the original location on Water Street or if it will strictly be takeout. The original Casa Razdora gained national recognition in 2014 when Guy Fieri visited the place for "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," which showed approximately two years after the place first opened in the former Sam & Anne's Deli space.
The upcoming location of Casa Razdora on Federal Street had once been home to Crumbs, a chain of cupcake shops that closed all of its stores in 2014 only to reopen some outlets--including the Boston shop--before closing for good in 2017.
The address for the new location of Casa Razdora is 176 Federal Street, Boston, MA, 02110. The website for the Water Street location can be found at http://www.casarazdora.com/
[August 15 update: A licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website indicates that the new location of Casa Razdora could be one step closer to opening by next week, as a hearing is expected to take place on its application for a common victualler license on Wednesday, August 21.]
