Restaurant openings Urban Grub Opening Soon in 12South

The full name of the restaurant is Urban Grub Fish Pit and Southern Cantina, which tells you a little something about the cuisine. The pieces may sound disparate, but Pennington told me in November that the uniting factor is cuisine from the regions surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. “You’ve heard of pan-Asian,” he said, laughing. “This is pan-Gulf.”
Pennington tapped the seasoned chef Paquette, known for the late, lamented Zola, a couple years ago to create the menu for his expansion of The Local Taco. Now she's helping develop the menu for Urban Grub. (That's in all her spare time when she's not working on her own upcoming restaurant, Echo at Encore.)
Urban Grub looks like it's growing by leaps and bounds every day. We'll told to expect it to open in late February.

I updated the story with more precise wording about when to expect Urban Grub to open: late February instead of sometime in February.

Have been really interested to see what the menu for this place would be like, but now even more so that I know Deb Paquette has a hand in it!
If Deb's involved, I'm in. When is Echo supposed to open anyway?
