Meril isn’t on my bucket list right now though I’ve read and heard some good things.


Go if you have 3 other people with you that like to try different stuff and are cool with sharing.

Nina Compton is obviously up there. Her second restaurant is new, but getting good press. Her Beard award will be helpful.


Was thinking this as well.

Alon Shaya locally probably carries as much weight as anyone.

Frank Brigtsen and John Folse should be somewhere on there.

There's also a wave of guys that cook well but aren't out there commercially the same as the aforementioned names. Before Gabrielle's reopened Greg Sonnier would fall here. This tier now would include, with varying name recognition, Slade Rushing, Tom Wolfe, Jacob Cureton, Baruch Rabasa, John Harris, Jason Goodenough, Brian Larson, Vlad Ahmadyarov, and others I'm forgetting. I don't think any of these can open a restaurant on name recognition, but they should better known.
