I am speaking solely as a frequent diner of La Chasse:
When all of this was transpiring over the wild and crazy Mother's Day weekend, I too was taken aback by the news of Chef Alex's eminent departure. I dined at La Chasse Mother's Day evening, and all seemed very normal and the kitchen was spot on, as usual. Then, Tuesday morning, the Facebook post that came out of nowhere hit.
I am not at liberty to go into details, suffice as to say that ways were civilly parted, hands were shaken, moves were made, and I for one am VERY excited about Chef Andrew's eminent arrival on the scene.
Now, those who are familiar with the Louisville Restaurant scene are aware, the business is always about finding the next best (fill in the blank). As one who almost went into the business some years ago, I have been blessed by developing unique friendships/kinships with some of the best and brightest in town. It is not unusual, nor unexpected, to see such changes.
As I stated, I am sorry to see Alex leave, but conversely am excited to see what Andrew will bring to the offerings of one my favorite tables in town!
If life's a Banquet, what's with all the Tofu?
Cheers!
