He was a great chef, as chefs go, and as chefs go, he went.

Chefs generally have the attention span of a housefly.  They are the most peripatetic of creatures-ADD acolytes whose capacity for providing gastronomic pleasure is inversely proportional to their low threshold for boredom.  Thus have two prominent local chefs-Christophe Ithurrize (Marche Bacchus) and Jean-David Groff Daudet (Pamplemousse)- moved on, after less than a year at those venues-proving once again the accuracy of that aphorism and those observations.  Details of both partings are sketchy and will be provided as they become available.  In the meantime, we wish them well.  Wherever they land will be lucky to get them.
