Fire & Rice, an elevated Japanese restaurant, is set to move into a new mixed-used development at 4801 Harford Road.
“I’m excited to be back in the neighborhood,” said Lagergren, who has worked at another Harford Road institution, Zeke’s Coffee, since closing Tooloulou. It was there that he met business partner Kevin Scheuing, who will also be in the kitchen at [Fire & Rice]. “He’s the rice, and I’m the fire,” Lagergren said, explaining that Scheuing will prepare sushi while Lagergren will cook ramen and yakitori, or Japanese-style grilled meats.
