According to SFoodie, Christian Ciscle, formerly the badass chef and opening manager of Little Skillet, is going to be opening a place called WING WINGS in the former Roland’s Bagels space. Although these wings won’t be fried—instead, they’ll be the saucy kind. And here’s more: “Also lots of specials, sides, fresh-cut fries, and desserts―no frills, he tells us. It’ll be mostly carry-out, with only limited seating, and late-night hours.” Looks like it’s about two months out. Fun fact: Ciscle was also behind Big Sherm’s Fresh Sandwiches, which was in the neighborhood more than 10 years ago. Oh, the memories. 422 Haight St. at Webster.
More Little Skillet-related news: Grub Street reports that Jay Foster (Farmerbrown and Little Skillet) is going to be opening THE LIBRARY with business partner Deanna Sison. No actual details about what it will be have been released (a bar? a café?) but stand by. The location: the former Someplace Else. 1795 Geary St. at Fillmore.
Lastly, Inside Scoop reports that opening up on Fillmore Street will be JANE, just next door to Citizen Cake. Owner Amanda Michael will reportedly be offering a coffee program featuring Four Barrel coffee, and breakfast and lunch items, including “housemade baked goods in the morning, and then quick service soup/salads/sandwiches for lunch. The afternoon will see more small-batch treats, like cookies and such.” Considering Citizen Cake is just next door, this should be, uh, interesting. Hours will be 6am-6pm; look for an opening perhaps in February. 2123 Fillmore St. at California.
