"The powerhouse brewing company has installed new executive chefs at two of its brewery restaurant locations. Leading the charge at Liberty Station’s Stone Brewing World Bistro & Garden is Rich Sweeney, a longtime local chef and “Top Chef” alum who most recently worked with North Italia and Tocaya Organica while Israel Ortiz, a veteran of high-volume kitchens at the House of Blues San Diego and Harrah’s Resort Southern California, will oversee the brewery’s original Escondido location. Both chefs will be revamping the food offerings with new dishes as well as bringing back from classic favorites from menus past." - Candice Woo
