The concept was started last year in Aspen, Colo., with “best new chefs” selected by Food & Wine magazine. Gabriel Rucker of Le Pigeon in Portland, Ore., will be one of the first. “I’m never going to open a restaurant in New York, but this allows me to bring what I do at Le Pigeon here,” Mr. Rucker said. Other chefs include Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta; Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson of Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, Colo.; and Erik Anderson of Brut in Minneapolis. Menus will be coordinated by Didier Elena, the executive chef for the project. David Rockwell designed an open space dominated by a giant kitchen, with communal tables in marble and wood, some of them abutting the work surfaces. A bar stretches along one side, with clever cooking-as-art pieces throughout, like the boulder of salt, right. Portraits of chefs, sketched by an artist who was discovered in Central Park, cover one wall.
