Scandalmaker Beau Breedlove Opening French Cafe

Today in unlikely restaurateurs: Infamous Portlander Beau Breedlove (the gentleman who engaged in an affair with Mayor Sam Adams in 2005, the revelation of which lead to a political scandal in 2009) is opening a "French dance cafe" on South Waterfront, dubbed Vie. WWeek was the first to spot the OLCC liquor license application, and Breedlove told the alt-weekly that the spot will serve French Provencal cuisine. As far as that "dance" part: "We'll have a small area for slow dancing and such, and later in the evening expand it to a larger space for dancing."

Not word yet on the chef involved, though WW reports that the spot hopes to be open "in the next seven to 10 weeks."
