Restaurant Koren Grieveson Rising Chefs 2004 Restaurants Reviews

RISING CHEFS

Age: 32
Home Town: Luanda, Angola
Favorite Ingredient: pork, pork, pork!
Signature Dishes: housemade salumi and sausages, raw salads
Mentor: family friend Dennis Jowell

Where did this girl learn to stuff a sausage like that? Her salami is out of this world. Actually, she trained with Mario Batali's salumi maker, Wade Moises, in New York. And, she's the former sous chef of Blackbird's Paul Kahan, who felt his talented protégé should have her own restaurant, Avec. Here, the very "with it" Grieveson feeds a boisterous crowd, packed in elbow-to-elbow à la Kahan's communal dining theory, with a daily selection of salumi, home-made chorizo, a popular bourride and equally admired wood oven roasted Prairie Grove Farms pork shoulder.
