Remember last month when we told you that PJ's Bar-B-QSA will start serving their food year round? Well the famous barbecue eatery has made its renovations and is ready for business! PJ's Bar-B-QSA will open today, and will remain open all year!

The restaurant has been working to transform themselves into a year-round establishment. Upgrades in insulation, heating and cooling systems, as well as the ordering system have been implemented. Previously, patrons would order their food at the window outside. This wouldn't work well with a year round restaurant, so the counter has been moved inside. Don't worry, there are still picnic tables outside to eat at when the weather is nice!

Are you going to eat at PJ's any time of year? I love a good pulled pork sandwich, beef brisket, or a rack of ribs; and will definitely be paying PJ's a visit soon.

Keep your eyes peeled for more PJ's Bar-B-QSA locations to pop up in the area. Rumor has it that the restaurant will soon offer franchising opportunities!

Saratoga.com Interview With Rory Moran, Chef-Owner Of Comfort Kitchen In Saratoga

What inspired you to open "Comfort Kitchen" in Saratoga?

Comfort Kitchen has been brewing in my mind for years now. I've always taken great joy out of cooking food for people that they love and crave. The concept began about 4 years ago, and I couldn't be more excited that it is now becoming a reality.

What kinds of foods will the new restaurant offer? Have you established a menu yet?

The menu is inspired by food that I loved and ate when I was growing up. Comfort food to me is the food that you asked your mom to make on your birthday, or a food that evokes a memory from your childhood. Every dish is house made and based on local, seasonal ingredients.

Some of the dishes I'm most excited about are the 'Make your own' Mac & Cheese, Fresh Ground Burger, Tater Tots, Shrimp Po' Boy, House Maple Brined Turkey Sandwich, Donuts, and Milk & Cookies. I will also have rotating house made pastas, seasonal salads and soup specials.

It seemed like just yesterday we were saying goodbye to the former Sangwych sandwich shop in Saratoga, and now we are welcoming its successor in its place.

Mio Posto is the new American Italian restaurant open at the former Sangwych location at 68 Putnam Street in Saratoga Springs, NY. They made some renovations inside to spruce the place up, and they feature eight tables for dining.

Locals flock to PJ's Bar-B-Q during the summer months for their famous barbecued cuisine. Now, after almost three decades of being a seasonal summer business, PJ's Bar-B-Q will be serving their famous comfort food year round.

The restaurant will open late spring with a new look and under the new name "PJ's Bar-B-QSA."

Jonathan and Tiffany Albert, owners of Putnam Den have opened the new tapas restaurant, The Living Room on 30 Caroline Street. The Living Room has becoming instantly popular and already has a large following!

Stop the press! The Brindisi's spot is no longer up for grabs - Ruso's Restaurant has snagged the space!

druthers.pngIn this interview, Chris Martell gives details on what inspired him to go "all in" on his latest business venture, giving his new brewing company a name that reflects his dedication. Construction is underway, and Martell expects the new Druthers Brewing Co to open this July on Broadway in Saratoga Springs.

From the sounds of it, many good things are in store for us when Druthers Brewing Company opens this summer. Read our interview with Martell Below.

What inspired you to want to open a brewpub in Saratoga?

My brothers and I have been brewing craft beer out of my garage and visiting brew pubs throughout the US for a number of years, so the dream of owning a brew pub has been something that we have shared for quite some time. A few years ago, when the economy began to sink and my brother lost his job as a pension analyst, we began talking about acting on our dream and launching our own brand of beer. My brothers and I have lived in Saratoga for over 30 years and couldn't think of a better place to introduce our brand.
