"Abacrombie"

One thing artists and chefs have in common is the love of creating new things. Their palette is used to stimulate our palates. Who hasn’t been impressed with the care and artistry of a beautifully plated dish? One such artist was the chef at the now dark “Abacrombie.” Restaurants often have small windows to pass dishes through that create a sort of diorama. I always enjoy the chance to peek inside to the workings of the kitchen. Here is a painting of Chef Sonny working on one of his ephemeral masterpieces.
