Revolving Doors: A Howling October
So it was in October: Lazare became Lemon Bar and will, most likely, become something else before long. Ten 15 Elm (or 1015 Elm, I was never sure) decided to call itself Thrive instead. The ballyhooed Jean-Michel's, coming to downtown, will no longer be Jean-Michel's and no longer be downtown. Gaspar Stantic left Cadot--an announcement we all knew was coming at some point from the vagabond chef. More personnel stuff (yawn) happened at Tre Amici. Big news arrived about a ban on raw gulf oysters...starting in 2011.
But there were several high points. Shortly after FitzGerald Dodd introduced his new fall menu at Screen Door, he was let go--and a new group led by chef David McMillan and the once golden Mico Rodriguez swept in.
Interesting combo: a chef at his best when dealing with diver scallops, truffles and such with a restaurateur who revels in mediocrity. See that working well.
