Coming soon to the Pearl District: a soup and grilled cheese sandwich restaurant, called Supa!, which takes over the space once home to the Middle Eastern restaurant Madera. Owners Jae Larsen and Julie O'Neal will offer a menu of housemade soups (like butternut squash with roasted garlic bisque; chicken and ravioli) paired with melted-cheese sandwiches (dubbed "melties"). Projected opening: August 24. [EaterWire]
