It’s Monday again? What the hell! Tips? [email protected]

• The legend of Capitol Hill’s Rosebud will include a resurrection. And possibly a few more tiffs. A month ago, CHS reported on “one last Sunday brunch” at the venerable E Pike eatery and watering hole as Todd Nordahl’s tenure as owner came to a rapid close following a dust-up with the building’s landlords. CHS has learned that plans are afoot to reopen a restaurant in the spirit if not likeness — and if not name — of the Rosebud at the joint’s longtime 719 E Pike location.

Details are still being worked out but we’re told that longtime Robert Sondheim is likely to be part of the restoration of the original Rosebud recipe on E Pike.

How these new plans fit with Nordahl’s plans to re-open only  a few block away “in the next few months” is not clear.

• E Madison’s walk-up banh mi provider Baguette is not long for this world. The little stand adjacent theBullitt Center construction site and across the street from Healeo is closing October 27th.

• Terra Plata did not open last Friday because they weren’t supposed to even with CHS’s mistaken reporting. Seattle Eater has pictures from inside an empty and very pretty Terra Plata. We’ll visit soon. In the meantime, enjoy this view from Terra Plata’s roof posted by a guest at a recent preview night at the new addition to the Melrose Market.

• When will Restaurant Zoe open at 14th and Union to join Oola Distillery? You’ll have to wait for 2012.
• You’ve probably heard by now that legendary Seattle bartender Murray Stenson is now doing his thing as part of an all-star team at 12th Ave’s mixology cathedral Canon. Certainly an impressive mix at Canon but we think Stenson should have taken the opportunity to reinvent himself at the Unicorn or pulling tap at the nearby Chieftain.
• Remember our report on Neighbors and the HG Lodge about the clubs trying to work out solutions after the city discovered that both were operating in buildings with restaurant — not nightclub — permits? HG has started its paperwork on the change of use process with the city. Neighbours? We can’t find anything filed.

• Seattle Met says the biggest problem at Ba Bar are the menus: “These underembellished menus are a problem, in part because of Ba Bar’s insider Vietnamese identity—what sort of crab soup is ‘bun rieu,’ and how does pork blood cake figure in?—and in part because of the Banhs continuing inability to nail service. Wherever menus need as much explication as Ba Bar’s do, servers should be all the more attentive and well versed.”
• E Madison’s Bottleneck Lounge is holding its annual Hillside Harvest Feast this Saturday. Its the fifth year for the event and, even though it has a permanent home now down the street at 14th and Union, Skillet will be on hand again to serve up the chow. Doors at 2p, Skillet at 3p until the food runs out.
• Manhattan Drugs burger bar working on the bar end of things.
