Why Because his contemporary French dishes combine multilayered flavors with Japanese minimalism.
Born Boston, 1974.
Experience Charlie Trotter's, Chicago; Daniel, New York City; Patina and Jaan, Los Angeles.
Most exotic item on Sona's menu Baby monkfish tail with watercress-shellfish broth. "We emulsify watercress with mussel juice and add pearl tapioca and mussels. The emulsion is so bubbly and alive, it looks like the waves after they crash. We serve it in Izabel Lam porcelain bowls, which have a texture like rolling waves."
Heroic moment "One night, we did 79 different tasting menus for 83 guests. When we're designing our tasting menus, we like to see if our guests are in a risky mood."
Latest obsession Kokekokko in L.A. "For $25, you can get a chicken tasting menu: You get raw chicken-breast sashimi as well as the beak, tongue, innards and the heart. You have to drink so much beer with that."
