Mike Isabella Expands His Empire to New Jersey

It's a big week for Mike Isabella — he won Cochon 555, cracked up the audience at Taste of the Nation, and now comes word that the celebrity chef will open G GrabandGo in his native state of New Jersey.

The restaurant will seat 20 in a small, 1,300 square foot space in Edison. The concept is sort of a hybrid of Graffiato and his upcoming DC restaurant, G. There will be sandwiches, soups, salads and pastries. He's partnering with his sister Diana Isabella and his brother in law Rob Wetchkus on the project.

G GrabandGo will have options like chicken parm, Italian heroes and wraps. There will be breakfast choices, including The Jersey Mac (featuring Taylor ham, naturally). Cheesesteaks and grilled cheese sandwiches round out the menu. The opening is happening sometime this spring.
