BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s been four years since Mike Andrzejewski closed the doors at Seabar, the upscale sushi bar he and wife Sherri ran for 13 years.

He spent the past few years in Alabama’s Gulf Shores region, cooking up seafood as chef de cuisine at Fisher’s Upstairs at Orange Beach Marina, a James Beard Award semifinalist. Last month, he took on a new challenge with True Grit Hospitality, a West Palm Beach company, developing the Roka Hula Asian-fusion concept that will open next year with sites in Orlando and Delray Beach.

Andrzejewski returned to Buffalo for a month this summer, complete with a few pop-ups that sold out within hours after social media promotions revealed the when and where. In August, that included a quickie event promoted as a Seabar reunion featuring his famed beef on weck sushi rolls at Misuta Chows.
