By Chuck Sudo in Food on Oct 12, 2009 3:00PM

Paul Kahan's beer and tacos joint in the old Pontiac Café space now has a name. Big Star is set to open in the next month or so. Big Star is largely influenced by Depression-era Bakersfield, California. that means there's gonna be a lot of Dust Bowl country music, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens being spun by Danny's Tavern and Reckless Records.

Kahan's menu of tacos and Mexican street fare will be implemented by avec's Justin Large with a bar menu under the direction of Michael Rubel from the Violet Hour. Tacos, beer and country music? Sounds like any night at our house.
