Daily Dose – Opened in October 2008, Daily Dose has quickly become a local hotspot with its stylish yet down-to-earth atmosphere and accessible American comfort food. The restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner and is owned by Matt and JenLyn Long of nearby Fusion Restaurant & Lounge. The Hangover sandwich is one of the menu highlights with applewood-smoked bacon, turkey sausage and caramelized jalapeño and onion between thick slices of sourdough toast. Or, you can pay homage to the good ol’ south with traditional biscuits and gravy. In the mornings visitors can sit back with a cup of coffee and newspaper on the restaurant’s cozy outdoor patio or toss back a few cold ones with friends later in the day before a night out on the town.

Petite Maison – Headed by local favorite, Chef James Porter, formerly of Tapino Kitchen & Wine Bar, the French-themed country bistro will bring comfort to travelers with quality food at a lower price point. A compact menu – matching the size of the quaint restaurant that will only seat about 80 people – focuses on classic Gallic for lunch, dinner and brunch with highlights like beignets and chicory coffee. Scheduled to open in summer 2009.

The Chef’s Loft – Set for the SouthBridge district, this state-of-the-art chef’s studio will play host to a culinary school with classes headed by renowned chefs from across the country. With a fully stocked kitchen from Viking Range Corporation, The Chef’s Loft will include space for private events in addition to public demonstrations for guests. The space also will be used as a set for lifestyle television shows, documentaries, commercials and more. Opening fall 2009.
