Chatting with chef Michael Schulson today about his menu at Independence Beer Garden — look for a full review next week — he confirmed rumors that have been circulating about a new restaurant in the works: "We're looking to do a sushi and robata concept, and we think we've found a space very close [to Sampan]." The chef will be Kevin Yanaga, a native of Japan who runs the kitchen at Schulson's Izakaya in Atlantic City. "Kevin is the most talented sushi guy I've ever worked with," Schulson gushed. There's not timeline for the new restaurant, so in the meantime, acquaint yourself with his talents at his drool-worthy Instagram.
