Baruch Rabasa Leaves Meson 923 for Atchafalaya

Baruch Rabasa, chef at Meson 923 since last October, has left that restaurant for Café Atchafalaya, where he'll start next week. Meaning, in a way, that he's leaving the new school for the older. Per Ian McNulty at the Gambit:

Rabasa’s cooking at Meson 923 followed in a similarly modern style established there by [previous chef Chris] Lynch, with a focus on seafood, daily crudo and scallop preparations and the use of sous vide cooking techniques. That’s markedly different from the cooking at Atchafalaya, which recently has been more like a Creole neighborhood café gone upscale.

The search for a new chef at Meson 923 is ongoing.
