This was posted on the Pomegranate instagram acct. Guess he’s out at Shaya. Wonder how that will affect things.

We are so exited that Chef Zach will soon be joining our team, and we can’t wait for his first day. Here is a message from him: “Upon returning to New Orleans three years ago, I had no idea what was in store for my life and for my career. I'm so grateful to everyone involved in Shaya Restaurant, from our guests to our staff, and for this opportunity to cook Israeli food in a city that I love. I deeply value the life-changing opportunities I've been given. I'm looking forward to starting the next chapter of my career as Culinary Director for Pomegranate Hospitality.”

with Engel now gone too is it fair to worry about a drop off in quality? Forgive me if I don't know the insider details but are there any links left between Shaya as it began and as it is now post Pomegranate?
