Is Starving Artists Bistro closed? What we know about the Fresno venue/restaurant
Starving Artists Bistro in north Fresno has been dark for a month. What’s happening with the popular restaurant, bar and live music venue at the RiverView Shopping Center at Friant and Fort Washington roads? The place that was just celebrating its reopening in January ? “They went out of business,” said Jimmy Zahriya, who owns the shopping center. He declined to speak further. Starving Artists owners could not be reached for comment about why. The business’s previous owner, who still played music at the site, also said he didn’t have any information to share. About a month ago, Starving Artists Bistro’s Instagram page posted that it was closing temporarily “due to operational challenges, business restructuring, and staffing limitations.” But temporary appears to have morphed into permanent. The business’s phone line has been disconnected. No one has posted on its Facebook account since Sept. 3. Starving Artists was the recipient of three temporary, four-month liquor licenses, the latest scheduled to expire in January, according to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Its 12-month regular and event liquor licenses are still listed as pending on the site. What was Starving Artists Bistro? The north Fresno business was unique. With guitars as

Has Mike’s Grill changed? 17 years on, Fresno’s tri-tip sandwich master says no.
One of Fresno’s best sandwiches comes from one of its smallest restaurants. That was just one discovery from our recent search for the best tri-tip sandwich in Fresno. Mike’s Grill on Cedar just south of Herndon occupies a 150-square-foot kiosk that looks like a former Fotomat, and actually began as a Lehman’s Lock and Safe (and later became a Cingular Wireless). But for 17 years, they’ve been serving what some may consider Fresno’s best tri-tip sandwich.

Fresno City Council tables SEDA indefinitely. ‘We have beat this dead horse enough'
In a staggering supermajority vote, the City Council has indefinitely tabled Fresno’s controversial plan to expand the city’s southeast side, likely killing it. The council chambers were packed Thursday evening with hundreds of residents prepared to tough out an hours-long hearing similar to last year’s vote to revise the Southeast Development Area Specific Plan and its environmental impact report. But in council member Mike Karbassi’s opening remarks to the crowd, he made the motion to table the plan, also known as SEDA. “I don’t think much has changed since last December,” Karbassi said. “I think we have beat this dead horse enough, and it’s clear there is no political will or ability to actually sustain SEDA within the city of Fresno.“ “Rather than open up those old wounds again, I’m going to make a motion to table this item indefinitely so it doesn’t ever come back again,” Karbassi said. Council member Miguel Arias seconded Karbassi’s motion, and it passed 6-1, followed by a roaring round of applause. The proposal to expand the city’s borders by rezoning 9,000 acres of mostly farmland in unincorporated Fresno County to the east and south to make room for up to 45,000 homes has been
