Bye Bye Bebo, Hello Morou

I don't know where I've been, but turned around the other day to find that Roberto Donno fled his Crystal City Coop in early April! But it looks like it won't be long before another celebrity chef steps into this space that was originally occupied by Joes Andres' Oyamel. This time around, Chef Morou Ouattara from Farrah Olivia in Old Town will open Kora, named after his youngest daughter, hopefully later this summer. Maybe he'll bring good service and consistently high quality food and in return will be rewarded with lots of diners!
