3. The new Curb Side Bistro location in Midland offers more space and opportunity for chef Alejandro Barrientos. The new location is so large it features a mural on one wall and plenty of art and decor for a cool atmosphere. The new location will also allow Barrientos to do something he's wanted to do at his restaurant, which is offer sliders, ciders, and beer pairings with the restaurant's menu items. Curb Side Bistro will announce its grand opening when it becomes available here. (KOSA)
