Blais is BAAAAACK
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Richard Blais (recently of Element, formerly of Blais) is offering a seven-course tasting menu for New Year’s from December 28 through December 31.
Where? Elevation, the restaurant at McCollum Airport in Kennesaw where he is now executive chef. When I spoke with him back in November, he was just getting back from a stint away (where he purportedly — though he will not confirm this — was filming a top TV show and couldn’t speak with the “outside world”). Element had closed in his absence, and he found himself without a kitchen.
He spoke of the kind of place he might want to someday open for himself. “I’d like to open a small spot, maybe just a counter, where I could cook for just a few people at a time with a really personal touch.”
Wishes are often granted this time of year; the tasting menu — called the “kitchen counter” menu — will be served at the restaurant’s counter (which apparently seats about five people) and must be reserved in its entirety and in advance. Blais will cook personally for the entire party. The cost? $175 per person without alcohol, taxes or gratuity.
No word back today from Blais about what might be on the menu, but I’m guessing the dinner will be an interesting way to ring in the New Year. To reserve, email trailblais.
I got tons of email from Blais’ fans when Element closed. Now he’s back, but he’s in Kennesaw. Who’s been? Will his loyal fans (the Blaisettes) venture that far north to check him out and support him?
