On Tuesday the ol’ gossip queen that is the Wall Street Journal leaked the news that celebrity chef Daniel Boulud has a restaurant underway in the City Center development. While reps for the Michelin-starred toque maintain that nothing is official, we’re keeping our forks crossed for an outpost of Boulud’s buzzy brasserie, DBGB. Or an Eataly, for that matter.
