Chef Christian DeLutis, seen left with CITYPEEK Patti, one of Baltimore's true breakout stars has left his perch at Alizee Bistro and wine bar and moved to be 'consultant' at Sotto Sopra in Mt Vernon. Sous chef John Carroll will take over the lead role in the Alizee kitchen.
Alizee has had a few chefs in its two year tenure at the restaurant housed in the Doubletree INN at the Colonnade-you know, the restaurant chain that hands you a warm chocolate chip cookie upon check-in? Before Alizee, Chef Christian worked at The Wine Market, Cork's, The Dogwood and had a stint in Ireland. A most accomplished, creative chef, his love if food shines through in every dish. We hear he would eventually like to set up his own spot someday. We certainly will follow him anywhere!
As previously reported, Chef Bill Crouse, Jr., formally of Sotto Sopra, has joined the staff of Fells Point's Sláinte Irish Pub and Restaurant and Woody's Rum Bar and Island Grill, sister of Kooper's and newly owned CELIE's Bed & Breakfast-- all owned managed by Patrick Russell and Bill Irvin. Sotto Sopra's Chef/Owner Ricardo Bosio will continue to be its Executive Chef--the position recently left vacant by Chef William Crouse, Jr. who has numerous local awards, credentials and followers.
SCOOP! NO 1006 Restaurant has NOT closed, not exactly--the owners Chefs Penny and Tom Chungasakoon have taken all notes of American out of their menu and now offer a more affordable THAI only menu of offerings. They renamed their spot THAI YUM--remember, it is located directly across the street from one of its FEDERAL HILL favorites-THAI ARROY.
