Tyler Florence and Sammy Hagar to Open a 'Rootsy' Eatery

In the last few months, Food Network showpiece Tyler Florence has announced several imminent projects in the Bay Area, and today he added one more upcoming restaurant to his overnight empire. Ty-Flo will unite with Sammy Hagar—yes, that Sammy Hagar—to take over the upscale El Paseo restaurant in Marin, just north of San Francisco. According to first-time restaurateur Florence, he and the Van Halen guy will transform the restaurant so that it "will be like Chez Panisse, but American rootsy, rustic."
