Chef Seamus Mullen OUT at Tapas Mini-Empire Boqueria

Chef Seamus Mullen, who along with partner Yann de Rochefort built tapas haven Boqueria into such a Chelsea hit that they expanded to a Soho outpost, has left the restaurant group, according to late word from FloFab, who characterizes the split as "amicable." If so, such amicableness must have played out rather recently, as Mullen publicly represented Boqueria at Meatopia on Governors Island just over a week ago. Let's color this shrapnel-laden bombshell developing, shall we?
