Lansing foodies, are your taste buds ready for the new restaurant that's coming to town?

We have some change coming to the Lansing foodie scene in the form of a (new to the area) Michigan-based chain. This new restaurant just so happens to be taking over an old restaurant location: YaYa's Flame Broiled Chicken.
