More on the Chef Shuffle at Mission Beach Cafe

The Mission: Here, then, a few more details regarding the aforementioned chef shuffle at Mission Beach Cafe. While we await the other shoe to drop on Ryan's future whereabouts, taking his place is Thomas Martinez, who at 22 years of age might be the youngest executive chef in the city (or can anyone else think of a younger one?). As a commenter noted, he worked at MBC prior to the Ryan Scott Era; he's also apparently seen time in the kitchens at Greens, Aziza, Roots and Foreign Cinema. Martinez will phase out Ryan's menu in favor of a more fine dining approach, which is a somewhat curious move these days, but we'll reserve judgment until the menu is up and running. NB: for those wondering, pastry whiz Alan Carter is still doing his thing.
