NE 28th: This just in: Chef Anthony Cafiero has left Tabla Bistro, the Northeast 28th eatery he’s helmed since 2009, effective immediately. In a statement released to Eat Beat, Cafiero stated: "I have started working on a modern tapas/cocktail bar concept, complete with floor plan, business plan, the whole thing. Leaving Tabla is a great opportunity to work with my chef friends, and explore kitchens and styles of restaurants around town. For now, I am taking the month off to explore this restaurant idea further, and look at spaces while I work with my friends in the industry. I am looking forward to my future in Portland, and all the opportunities this food city holds." Stay tuned here on Eat Beat for a full exit interview with Cafiero in the coming days. 200 NE 28th Ave
