With Fish & Farm under the plywood till Saturday for a little renovation, news came out yesterday that chef Jake des Voignes will not be staying with the restaurant when it reopens. Instead, Scoop reported that Baraka and Urban Tavern vet Chad Newton will take over, simplifying the menu with “more Americana and hyperlocal ingredients… such as Liberty Ale battered fish and chips, and fried Petaluma chicken with black-eyed peas.” As for des Voignes, F&F; owner Frank Klein told the Chron that he would “pursue his passion for higher-end cuisine.” When we find out what that translates to, we’ll tell you.
