Chef Harutaka Kishi at Test Kitchen

Fans awaiting the re-opening of Chaya Brasserie BH can head over to Test Kitchen on November 15th to preview the new dishes by Chef Harutaka Kishi. Formally of Gordon Ramsay's London in West Hollywood, Kishi will begin his new exec chefdom with a complete overhaul of Chaya’s menu.

The five-course tasting menu at Test Kitchen is headlined Comfort Foods and includes familiar-sounding dishes such as Shrimp and Grits, Chicken Noodle Soup and Pot Roast. But this won’t be a bland Monday night supper - the grits dish includes a Lobster Vinaigrette while the Chicken Noodle Soup touts foie gras ravioli. [EaterWire]
