At Mai House, the story seems to be, “He said…she said.”
More than two weeks ago, Eater reported that top cheffer Spike Mendelssohn was out, and another top cheffer, Lisa Fernandes, was in, but retracted the story after owner Drew Nieporent denied it.
But last week, Spike told Chow.com, “She’s at Mai house helping me. She’s executing my menu. She’s executing my vision,” and today’s Daily News credits her as chef de cuisine there.
We still don’t know if Spike is out, but it seems pretty clear that Lisa is in.
