Oakland’s most upscale Southern spot, Pican, after a lengthy search, has named a new executive chef: Sophina Uong. Uong was one of the original partners in 900 Grayson in Berkeley, and she also served as the chef at the defunct Maritime East. She’ll be overhauling the menu, which will go live next week. [Scoop]
