Nick Balla
’Tis the season of chef shuffles! Nick Balla, who’s won a bunch of fans both at Nombe and at every event he’s brought his tangy and spicy wings to, will be moving on from the popular izakaya at year’s end and starting to work on a solo project, which he hopes will be in the Mission. [Scoop]
Also, yesterday there came news that Beard Award-winning pastry chef Nicole Plue has gotten snatched up by Cyrus in Healdsburg, and she’ll be leaving her post at Redd in Yountville as of January 1.
