You read that headline right.
Two downtown restaurateurs have formed a partnership that will allow an award-winning chef/owner to open in the heart of Pine Avenue and help a Pine stalwart re-energize his restaurant concept.
Through a deal with Smooth's John Morris, Bouchees Bistro founders Tony Zervas and Milvia Molina are moving their culinary operations from Long Beach Boulevard to Smooth's Sports Bar and Grille on Pine Avenue and renaming it Bouchees Bistro at Smooth's.
Zervas said Monday that he had been looking for a way to open on Pine.
"I know I would do very well there," said the chef, who was awarded the golden scepter award by the Southern California Restaurant Writers four consecutive years. "That's where most of the best restaurants are and I just think we belong there with them."
Morris called the partnership "a perfect marriage," adding that Smooth's will be able to reopen for lunch. (Last April, Morris eliminated lunch service to focus on dinner and nighttime entertainment, citing up and down sales.)
"I knew he had a fabulous product, and I know he's a very hard-working individual," said Morris. "My biggest headache is the food side of this business."
The partnership also will allow Morris to potentially sell his restaurant business to Zervas and perhaps act as landlord and downtown promoter.
"It's an awesome, awesome opportunity for him to really show himself and at the end of 18 months, he has an opportunity to buy me out basically," Morris said. "What's Chapter Three for me? I've got options. ... I'm looking forward to moving forward and staying focused on bringing things to downtown."
"He's given me a golden opportunity," Zervas said of Morris. "It's a great deal for the both of us."
Meanwhile, Zervas and Molina have opened City Taco, a "straight forward, fast, fresh, delicious mix of Mexican/American cuisine," in the former Bouchees Bistro location at 515 Long Beach Blvd.
City Taco, which opens Sept. 1, will have a full bar, private dining room, patio and entertainment.
"It will have basically the same design but accented with urban art, Latin music and new signage," according to a recent mass e-mail announcing the changes.

The Long Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau is apparently on an award tour.
Since July, the CVB took home five meeting industry awards by Successful Meetings Magazine, Meetings & Conventions Magazine, Corporate and Incentive Travel Magazine, Insurance and Financial Management Meetings Magazine and Association Conventions & Facilities Magazine.
For the sixth straight year, the CVB earned the prestigious Pinnacle Award and for the 14th year in a row received from M&C the Gold Service Award, honoring professionalism and dedication in their service to meeting professionals.
And if that weren't enough, the CVB also netted its second Distinctive Achievement Award from Association Conventions and Facilities magazine, its fourth Award of Excellence by Corporate and Incentive Travel Magazine and third World Class Award by Insurance and Financial Management Meetings.
"We appreciate the recognition by planners in the meeting community as these accolades reflect upon the cohesive partnership to deliver excellent service by our hotels, convention center, city management team and elected officials," said CVB President and CEO Steve Goodling.
"As a community, we've worked hard to ensure that every convention had an excellent experience and this effort has been recognized by the industry and shared amongst planners individually. This word of mouth and industry recognition has helped us achieve a distinct competitive advantage."

Sarah Benton and Peter Toulios' motivation to open Lil Devils Boutique stemmed from their own experiences in trying to buy edgy gifts for their friends' children.
"Nothing we could find in retail stores suited our style," Benton said. "While I was able to buy hipper presents online, I found it hard to tell the quality by looking at a picture."
That prompted them in August 2008 to open the 2218 E. 4th St. store, which sells vintage- and rocker-inspired clothing, toys and books.
Now with a year under their belts, the owners are celebrating the milestone on Saturday, Aug. 29, with a party, games, giveaways and a live DJ. The store also will give a $10 discount on purchases of more than $50 on that day.
"We have had great success at finding handmade goods for the store -- and many of our items are locally handmade," Toulios said. "Being in heart of Retro Row where shoppers know to come to find unique items not found anywhere else locally has proven to be the perfect location for Lil Devils."

It seems like a contradiction of sorts: an eco-friendly take on a vehicle that doesn't exactly sip on gas.
But Raser Technologies of Provo, Utah, wants to change some minds with its "100-MPG Green Hummer SUV," which will be displayed at the Plug-In 2009 Convention in Long Beach Aug. 10-12.
From the release:
Raser's Electric Hummer is an extended range electric vehicle or EREV-powered by a 40-mile lithium ion battery pack, and recharged by plugging in or by a small onboard gas powered electric generator also called a "range extender." The near zero emissions electric vehicle is designed to average over 100 mpg in typical daily driving of about 60 miles or less, with a total range of 400 miles. EREV type plug-in vehicles have the lowest emissions of all hybrid vehicles, without the range limitations of pure electric vehicles.
They'll be at Booth 401, at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
