It appears that something new will be filling the space created by the lamentable loss of Smitty’s Famous Fish & Chicken at 9032 Venice Blvd in Culver City.  There’s a banner hanging on the front of the gutted shop that announces the impending arrival of Bernie’s Soul Kitchen.  BSK hails from near Chicago and offers a menu of “jerk and soul food” including bowls, pizzas, wraps, and dinners.  (Thanks Andrew!)
