Former Bushi-tei chef and Jardinière sous chef Michael Hung has landed at a new gig, and it’s a plum one: He’s the new chef de cuisine at La Folie, the French restaurant helmed by Roland Passot that holds four stars from the Chronicle. As Eater reports, he had a sort of “baptism by foie” in the last couple weeks as La Folie went through about 150 pounds of the stuff a week for their Farewell to Foie Gras menu. Now, things are calming down a little. [Eater]
Also, up north in San Rafael, well regarded Italian spot Vin Antico is losing its chef of two years, Ed Vigil. Vigil took over the kitchen in 2010, but he is now out, and new chef Gesser de Leon has taken over. Vigil may reappear elsewhere, the Scoop hints, in west Marin, so stay tuned. [Scoop]
