Three food-business notes this afternoon:

THE LOCOL: Back in November, we reported on the restaurant/bar‘s ownership change. Now, an update:

We are back open after our latest remodel. Now with the ownership changeover we are slowly rebranding with new signage coming soon, and the name has changed to The Locol Kitchen & Bar. We also have added a selection of cocktails featuring Northwest Spirits.

The Locöl is at 7902 35th SW; hours are here.

JET CITY BEIGNET: New way to get your beignet(s) on:

Starting in April, we will be serving made-to-order beignets from our commissary kitchen, located at 4611 36th Ave SW, every Sunday (including Easter Sunday) from 9 am-1 pm.

Preordering is not necessary (although we do appreciate a heads-up for orders larger than 2 dozen) – people can just swing by and ring the bell near our menu located on the east side of the building and we’ll come out and take the order on the spot.

We are also offering 12-ounce cups of our custom coffee blend with hints of chicory for the complete NOLA experience in West Seattle.

We will also have bags of our coffee (roasted by Middle Fork Roasters in South Park) available for purchase, along with JCB merch and gift cards. Our menu, contact info and calendar can be found here: jetcitybeignet.com
