OPENING SOON

• Spiceman is going in at 596 College Street, the address known for such high-frequency turnover that I've almost stopped reporting on its comings and goings. This new country-style Mexican chicken rotisserie featuring an opening menu from chef Greg Couillard might just break the streak. Couillard reports it's being "religiously cleansed" before it launches.
• Casual Italian chain, Levetto is opening another location at 382 Spadina Ave. in December.
• Tealish is relocating from Queen West to Roncesvalles. The Queen St location closes September 28, while the new spot at 367 Roncesvalles Ave. opens on October 3.
• Bao Time It's A Bao Time, a new steamed bun and Vietnamese sandwich shop is slated to open this October at 230 Commerce Valley Dr. East in Markham.
