Boston Restaurant Talk reports that Mission on Fire, which replaced Sofia Italian Steakhouse, which replaced the Vintage steak place, which replaced Fontaine's and its neon waving chicken, has opened at 1430 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury. It promises "everything from tapas and artisanal pizzas to savory pastas and our signature rotisserie chicken" all with a "bold Latin influence."

holy cow
That menu is a mess. Just a jumble, and yet still boring?
And I guess the "bold latin influence" does not mean correctly using Spanish on their menu...
How long ago was the chicken?
I looked on street view, which goes back to 2007, and didn't see it. I could have sworn I've seen a neon waving chicken around here though, within the past five years.
almost 20 years ago
Fontaine's was closed by '05.

On the Greenway?
You might have seen it here.
Thanks
Yes, that's exactly what it was. That was a great exhibit! I wonder what happened to all those signs afterwards.
