I was driving down Glenwood South today and spotted a banner hanging outside the former Enoteca Vin restaurant. It said a restaurant called "Sauced" is coming soon. Per the banner, it will be a "NY Pizza/NC Pub."
The owner of the new business was not there when I stopped by, so I am still working on the details about when it will open. But a pub/pizza joint is certainly a departure from Enoteca, which was a haven for foodies and wine lovers of the Triangle. That restaurant suddenly closed back in January. Its owner, Chrish Peel, also closed his Carolina Wine Co., leaving customers without thousands of dollars in wine they had ordered. In March the Carolina Wine Co. filed for bankruptcy.
The new Sauced restaurant will go next door to the under-construction Diner restaurant, which is taking over the former Hard Times Cafe space.
Added: Sauced has a Web site...
