Drumming up business for the Borgs?

In one of his last posts on The Record's Second Helpings blog, Food Editor Bill Pitcher appears to solicit business for a wine bar in which his bosses, Stephen and Jennifer Borg, may still have an interest.


In an item Monday, Pitcher wrote that Teresa Guidice, one of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," was to sign copies of her book that night at Grand Cru, a wine bar in Englewood. There is no mention of whether the Borgs are still investors in the wine bar, which was once featured in the food pages with a disclosure of their role.


Grand Cru is just down the street from Solaia Restaurant, which is owned by businessman Michel Bittan. He reportedly had a relationship with one of those Russian spies who were in the news recently. 

The Record's Giovanna Fabiano was unable to get a comment from Bittan, nor does she seem intent on disclosing his holdings and influence in Englewood's struggling Palisade Avenue business district.
