Chez Melange was an American seafood restaurant and gastropub located in Redondo Beach, California, which closed on February 29, 2020.[2] It was opened in 1982 and owned and run by Michael Franks and co-owner and head chef Robert Bell.[1][3][4][5][6] HistoryChez Melange was originally located on Pacific Coast Highway and after the lease was up it moved to its new location in January 2009 on Catalina Avenue.[2] Chez Melange ran three restaurants at the same Redondo Beach, Catalina Avenue venue, Sea Change, a sea food themed restaurant, Bouzy, a gastropub and The Oyster Bar.[2][3] Robert Bell said when first meeting Michael Franks, "I remembered thinking, I don’t want to work with this guy. I’m from Brooklyn, he’s from London. He came from what I thought was an upscale upbringing, I was just off the line of being poor. He went through restaurant school, I barely made it through junior college. But we were both very driven, very passionate about what we were doing, and that’s the only reason we got along."[7] Chez Melange closed on February 29, 2020.[8] In 2021 the Chez Melange location was reopened under different ownership as a new restaurant called Table Manners[9][10] and was later renamed Perfect Storm.[11] See alsoReferences
