I've been hearing for months via the locavore grapevine that chef David Gilbert was planning a restaurant in Rosewood Court that would be using locally sourced ingredients. Today I got to hear it from David himself after running into him at Eden's Organic Garden Center's for Saturday market day. 'Seems David is planning on a lot more than simply sourcing locally. As he puts it, he wants to create a bridge between local farmers and local chefs. "How do you bridge all of this together?" he asks rhetorically. One idea he's toying with when the new restaurant opens in January: holding farmer-rancher dinners where a farm or ranch's products are the focal point of each course and the proceeds benefit the growers in some way. He's says he's even contemplating buying a van to pick up locally raised goods so that farmers don't have to make the budget-busting drive to his restaurant. He's also talking about bringing in local, seasonal organic flowers for the dining room. If you can't place Rosewood Court, it's a Rosewood Property luxury office tower going up next to the Ritz. That's Rosewood, as in Crescent Court and Mansion. As for the new restaurant's name, David says he hopes to have it nailed down next week. CommentsE-mail entry: |

Those sound like some excellent ideas! Maybe he'll start a trend. Keep us posted.
I thought the Luqa guy was opening a restaurant there. Is that a different building?
RonaldO, you are correct. I did my own personal mind meld on the chef names David Gilbert and Gilbert Garza. My bad.
I thought David Gilbert was the chef at Meyerson's in the Rosewood building.
meyerson's is the new restaurant going in the new rosewood. david gilbert is the chef from luqa, who will be the chef at meyerson's.
