Robert Humphrey’s Plate 38 survived temporary closure following a fire that devastated the place in late 2010, just weeks after its opening. This week, the owner announces that his Colorado Boulevard restaurant will again close on January 25 for a remodel that will include the introduction of a custom cocktail bar, among other additions. A reopening is planned sometime in February. But first, the restaurant will throw a party on January 19, featuring touring musician Ben Mauro, probably the only thing Lionel Richie, Jon Fogerty, and Britney Spear’s live shows have shared in common. The jam kicks off at 9:00 P.M. this Saturday at 2361 E. Colorado Blvd. Pasadena and with any luck, this guy won’t be there.
