Daniel Patterson Wire

Here's a profile of chef Daniel Patterson of the two Michelin-starred Coi in San Francisco that touches on his critical acclaim, his not being an "easy person," and why customers don't "always respond positively" to his "difficult" cuisine. On his newest restaurant Alta CA, Patterson says: "[It's] totally unpretentious and a little boisterous ... the kind of food that cooks want to make for themselves on their days off." [Modern Luxury]
