Gussie’s on the Final Stretch in the Fillmore

After the few months’ delay in opening that seems to be standard among new restaurants in this city (it was initially slated for March), Gussie’s Chicken and Waffles is getting very, very close to its debut. Chef / owner Michele Wilson tweeted last week that the windows are in, and today an ad appeared on Craigslist calling for servers, food runners, cooks, a bartender, dishwasher and host/ess. There’s a beer and wine license on file with the ABC, but according to the twitter stream, they may jump on the fancy cocktail bandwagon as well. But for all their online paper trail, we haven’t heard a definite opening date yet, so let’s hope they’re just playing close to the vest and not hitting more delays. Wilson announced plans for a booth at the Juneteenth festival, so if you can’t wait till they open, you can swing by there for a taste.
