Chef Spike Mendelsohn heading up the kitchen at Chris Bukowski's sports bar for the ladies? Sounds like an unholy alliance if there ever were one.Though the blog Wetpaint has an "exclusive" announcing the arrangement, the chef's sister and spokewoman Micheline Mendelsohn says it isn't happening. "While he wishes Chris luck with his new restaurant, Spike has nothing to do with it nor is he in business with Chris," she said. Mendelsohn's priorities right now are the expansion of Good Stuff Eatery and the opening of Bearnaise on Capitol Hill, she said. Bukowski's upcoming restaurant is likely Clarendon-bound. [Wetpaint]
