Colicchio’s New Restaurant
During an interview that will appear in next week’s issue of New York, Tom Colicchio told the mag, “As much as I love what I do at Craft, I don’t want to be known for putting a piece of fish on the plate with olive oil and salt and pepper.†That’s why last year, missing the creative call of the plated dishes that won him a name at Mondrian and Gramercy Tavern, he created Tom: Tuesday Dinner. He’s enjoyed his return to form so much that in the next weeks, he’ll open a new venture in the Chelsea space that currently belongs to his steakhouse, Craftsteak. Current chef Shane McBride will stay on, but Colicchio, for the most part, will create the menu, and though he’s now the father of a 4-month-old boy, he plans to put in a good deal of time in the kitchen. New York mag asked him what to expect from Colicchio & Sons.
