Chef-O-Rama

What the hell is going on at Crabtree’s Kittle House? First Wine Director Don Castaldo was let go when Glen Vogt joined John Crabtree as partner (see GM-O-Rama), and now “Co-Executive Chef” Anibal Romero has, according to Vogt, “left to pursue other opportunities.” To be honest, the situation always seemed a little crazy to us. Chef Romero, who had worked his way up through the ranks at Crabtree’s, was asked to share Executive Chef duties with “Co-Executive Chef” Kevin Bertrand, after Bertrand was hired two years ago. Currently, Executive Chef Kevin Bertrand is the sole survivor in this game of Battleship—and we wonder if he feels lonely. We doubt it.
