Capital Bites: New Kro's, New Fatburger and New Manager For Flamme

While we were still recovering from a collective Bar-and-Club-Award-induced hangover, our good friend Beijing Boyce was sufficiently coherent to pick up on various bits of big news worth taking note of. Among them, the long-awaited China World branch of Fatburger has just opened; a new Kro's Nest is on the way just across from Salsa Caribe; and Paul Mathew - winner of an "Outstanding Bartender" award in our Reader Bar & Club Awards - is leaving his management role at Flamme. Fans of Mathew's drinks can take solace in the fact that he'll still be involved as a drinks consultant.

A huge "hat tip" to Beijing Boyce for these leads - we'll be following up on all these for ourselves, but for more information and a few other bits of news, check out his posts here and here.
