"City Kitchen columnist and former head chef of famed Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif. David Tanis has been tapped as the new chef of Graydon Carter and Jeff Klein’s Monkey Bar. Tanis told the Times his food “will be straightforward and simply presented” and “that the menu would evolve, but would veer away from steakhouse fare and emphasize more salads, fish and vegetables with a seasonal focus using sustainable ingredients.”" - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
