Sabbaticals: SPQR on Hiatus, Accarrino Era Looms

Pacific Heights: Just a public reminder that as of today, SPQR is officially on holiday. When the hit restaurant returns in a fortnight, Matt Accarrino—he of Craft LA and Per Se—will be tasked to reinvent the menu (more on that soon) following the Nate Appleman situation earlier this summer (maybe you heard about that?). So in many ways, though it's not a new opening officially, SPQR and its new chef's impact should be one of the most intriguing plotlines to follow during this fall restaurant season ... especially once the Bauer review update rolls around.
