New North End residents TOM D’ANGELO and CHELSEA MORGAN were hoping “something good” would move in after SANTIAGO’S CUBAN CUISINE left the Burlington neighborhood last month, D’Angelo said.

Benedict and corned-beef hash. Maple syrup comes from the picturesque JENNE FARM in Reading, where Morgan grew up. D’Angelo, 35, began cooking in his native New Jersey. When he moved to Vermont, he started as a line cook at the FARMHOUSE TAP & GRILL, worked his way up to sous chef and became head chef at the FARMHOUSE GROUP’s EL CORTIJO TAQUERIA, then opening general manager at BLISS BEE. For the past two and a half years, D’Angelo has worked at the GREAT NORTHERN, now ZERO GRAVITY BEER HALL (see story on page 44).

Ewoldsen will manage business operations, and Driscoll will run the bar and the front of the house. “It’s a nice open space with a lot of good lighting,” Morgan, 32, said. “We’re hoping to throw a lot of plants in and just make it really fresh and modern.” Jordan Barry
