Jason Maddy, an Austinite who worked with David Bull at the Driskill Hotel there, has joined the Mansion Restaurant at the Mansion on Turtle Creek as its chef de cuisine. We wondered who would take this position a few weeks back when it was announced that Timothy Byrnes would leave the Mansion to become Stephan Pyle’s executive chef. The press release mentions that before the Driskill, Maddy worked with David Bouley in New York. A great chef, Bouley. Maddy also appeared with David Bull on Iron Chef in 2006. And speaking of David Bull, there’s a link to his dinner menu (or part of it, anyway) for the new Bolla opening soon in the renovated Stoneleigh Hotel. Scroll down to the second page and check it out. Mmm, crudo ... Photo of Jason Maddy (right) and David Bull courtesy of the Austin American-Statesman. Photo by Matt Rourke. |

You are right about Bouley. Just ate there on Monday night during my three day culinary whirlwind tour of Manhattan and it was great. Other highlights: Momofuku Ssam Bar (steamed pork buns and pork sausage wraps), Sfoglia- tiny Italian place UES, Tabla ($32 lunch 3 course) Indian fusion was great and Pera -- excellent Turkish.

I'm surprised (and pleased) to see that Bolla's prices are relatively low compared to some of the other big hitters in town.

Also love the fact that the entire kitchen staff (vs. just exec chef and sous chef) are listed on the menu. Very cool.
