Will Michelle Mah Be Helming Charles Phan’s Return to the Mission?

Charles Phan remains tight-lipped about his plans for the once-upon-a-time location of The Slanted Door at 584 Valencia Street, but now Tablehopper gets wind of the fact that he’s hired Michelle Mah (Midi, The Brixton) to join his team, starting this week. Our bet is that Mah is coming on board to help eventually open the Valencia Street project, which might explain why she took the temp gig opening The Brixton. But only time will tell. We first heard rumblings about this last summer, and Phan told us that he’d probably be moving forward sometime in 2011 with an Asian restaurant, name TBA, with a full cocktail bar.
