Nominated Seattle restaurant closes after pipes burst

Chef Melissa Miranda started Musang in Seattle with the mission of “bringing folks together in the spirit of community, with Filipinx-inspired food and experience as the mainstay,” states.

Miranda’s father immigrated to the U.S. in the 70s and his friend knew him to drive a black Mustang. The “t” eventually fell off, leading to Musang. Hence, Miranda’s inspiration came from her father’s passion for food and her work cultivating partnerships with non-profits.

“Musang is for us by us 鈥 community-driven and not chef-driven, a place to come sit at the table as part of something bigger than just food. We believe in cultivating an experience for our guests that will help pave the way for new and sustainable systems for our next generation,” Musang’s website also says.

But Musang has been forced to close temporarily after a pipe burst in January. Musang’s website says the damage is “extensive,” and the restaurant would be closed for over a month.

But fans, or those people interested in becoming fans perhaps, can still eat Miranda’s cuisine at their two new restaurants, Wild Cat and Kilig in the Chinatown-International District.

The James Beard winners will be announced June 10 in Chicago.
