Grub Street caught word today that A16 has hired a new executive sous chef to be second-in-command to executive chef Liza Shaw. David Taylor, formerly of Poggio and XYZ will join the team next week.

Also, the Scoop announces today that one-time Chron Rising Star Michelle Mah, who left Midi earlier this fall, will become consulting executive chef at The Brixton — the new, rock-and-roll-themed restaurant-lounge in Cow Hollow that was announced last month. Joining her as chef de cuisine, and eventually as permanent executive chef, will be John Hara, who also worked with Mah at Midi and formerly at Ponzu. They’re aiming for a late-December (read: New Year’s) opening. [Scoop]
