Now that Au Pied de Cochon is gone, there's still room in the South of Fifth 'hood for a chain that has nothing to do with Myles Chefetz.Although we heard Morimoto, who recently told us they had no plans to open anything in Miami yet, was scouting the area many years ago, the latest name to be location scouting in the 'hood is Rosa Mexicano, who has reportedly looked at the Au Pied space as well as that same empty warehouse space on 1st St between Alton and Washington that Morimoto was eyeing years ago. In the meantime, no deals have been sealed and both the pig and the warehouse remain empty and for rent. [EaterWire]
