Who is the Star at Starrs’?
Sep 7, 2007 general food
The Gourmet Guro tips his hat favorably to Starrs’ this month over on saucemagazine.com, but he did fail to mention who was cooking the delicious food.
I just wanted to take a moment to point out that it’s James Dean Gill. I worked with James at Harvest for about a year in 1999 while he was the daytime Sous Chef. He’s a great cook, an even better guy, and I’m glad to see he’s doing well.
Check out the article, and if you happen to dine there, let us know how it is.
Also, here’s a Sauce Byte from early August. I’m surprised they didn’t mention James in the review as they obviously knew.
After 14 years of hosting private dinners in Starrs’ private dining room, Bud Starr has opened the space to the public. Starr and chef James Gill collaborate in the kitchen, producing an American menu that offers diners everything from burgers to filet mignon on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. “We’re just trying to be a good, reasonable value restaurant,” Starr said. The wine list is extensive, to say the least: Diners purchase one of the 1,200 selections available in the wine shop and enjoy it with their meal.
