        <content>Owner/chef Laurent Quenioux of Bistro K in South Pasadena is planning to move from his present location to an exciting locale in Los Angeles.  Beginning May 1, 2007, Bistro K will be under a new management and a new Owner.

 Laurent&#8217;s new location will be far more spacious with a tasteful, simple but elegant design.  His adventurous and imaginative menus will continue to amaze and delight his customers with their seemingly unending variety.

      <content>If things work out, the new place will be in the downtown area.  Likely not open until late '07/early '08.

I'm going for my final hurrah on 4/27 to toast a marvelous chef and his crew.</content>

      <content>Alas, I didn't get off the waiting list (I called half an hour before my planned reservation time)  :(  Guess I'll have to wait till the new LA joint opens.

      <content>My last hurrah is saturday.  While I'm excited for the new space, I wonder if the quality can stay as high while servicing 2 1/2 times the customers.

I think it being my last visit at this location is a great excuse to be even more excessive there than usual.</content>

      <content>we have a reservation there for Saturday too.  Has anyone been lately that can recommend good entrees?  I don't know if we will do the tasting menu.  Beef cheeks and Duck both look good.</content>
