INSIDE THE FOX’S LAIR (hey, hole woulda sounded stupid)
The Dish
Did you know that deep within the Fox Restaurant Concepts HQ is a test kitchen where chefs for Bloom, Sauce, TrueFood, Olive & Ivy, Green House, NoRTH (screw it, basically every restaurant you love) get to toy with virtually any ingredient they want to tweak their menus and try new dishes away from the madness of the front lines? Well now you do.
The offices are located in the Scottsdale Waterfront, near Olive & Ivy. We were having an iced coffee from said restaurant last week and got so friggin’ insanely caffeinated, we figured – let’s go bother the people that did this to us! So when we got inside, we found Andrew Ashmore, who’s going to Exec Chef for Fox at the new Modern Steak when it opens next to Barney’s on October 26. Ashmore’s got a lot of culinary tricks up his sleeve (we were sworn to secrecy about them, a.k.a. can’t remember because we were shaking from their crack-like coffee) and from the looks of it, Modern Steak’s gonna kill it.
He was queuing up tastings of fish for Fox and crew in the test kitchen. A stressful time, yes. But Ashmore seemed cool, calm, and prepared. Watch the vid above. Sorry we didn’t ask better questions … (Umm, Debbie, which way is the bathroom??)
