Chef Shuffle

Santa Monica's beloved breakfast and lunch cafe Huckleberry has a new chef behind that tempting dessert counter. Michael Israel is now commanding the kitchen, a chef known for his "Jewnese" work at the MOE Deli truck, a Jewish deli/Chinese hybrid. Huckleberry owner Josh Loeb explains, "He's slowly integrating into Huck, spending the first month or two getting used operations and tightening stuff up and slowly adding new dishes." [EaterWire]
