The chef is not lost

When I said in last week's Table Talk that Mike Russell had given his notice "where he now works" at Donna's at Cross Keys to become the chef at the new restaurant that will replace Vespa in Federal Hill, I didn't mean to imply that Russell was head of the kitchen at Donna's. Apparently some customers are worried that the restaurant has lost its chef.

Russell was actually a sous chef. Ian Stanford, formerly of the Wine Market and Joy America, is still the head chef.

Any idea what's going on with the space where Joy America used to be? I understand that they lost their view, darn developers...

About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.

He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
