Ever since Black-eyed Pea closed its storied Cedar Springs location in early January, the gayborhood has been awaiting the restaurant to replace it — a new concept from BEP originator (and founder of Lucky’s, Good Eats and more) Gene Street: Street’s Fine Chicken. Well, it’s almost here. Word came today that a May opening is eyed, although the precise date is still undecided. What is known is that the menu will include home-cooking-style favorites, like the griddle-fried chicken-fried steak, roasted-and-toasted chicken, and of course black-eyed peas, plus more some upscale additions like chicken lollipops, boneless-thigh sandwiches and hand-crafted cocktails.
