Frjtz owner Santiago Rodriguez announced today that he’ll be closing one of the two locations of his Belgian frite places, the original one at 581 Hayes. He tells the Scoop he wants to concentrate on the Valencia location, and that “it was difficult to operate two restaurants.” (The UC Davis-inspired pepper-spray hot sauce will clearly still be available at the Mission location.) Rodriguez has already sold the place to Brian Cassanego, who’ll be opening something called Noir, with a food menu, beer and wine, and a Jazz-era, noir-ish vibe. Look for Frjtz to shutter at the end of the month. [Scoop]
