Winship Restaurant in Sausalito Becomes Napa Valley Burger Co.; Skates on Bay Gets a Makeover; and More

Sausalito: Grub Street noted an odd closure at 50-year-old Winship Restaurant in Sausalito back in February, and at the time the management denied any big changes were afoot. But, very quietly last month, the place suddenly became Napa Valley Burger Co. We think the new owners didn’t want to draw attention to the change, because of the history, but there it is.

They’ve also updated their menu with stuff like house-cured salmon carpaccio, and pan-seared Alaskan halibut cheeks with succotash, pea vines, and red pepper coulis. [Grub Street]
Also, Saul’s has a new Israeli chef de cuisine. [Scoop]
