James Beard-nominated chef/owner Kelly Whitaker of Basta, 3601 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, has enlisted chef Brian Lockwood for a fall residency through Jan. 1. During his time there, Lockwood will plate Israeli-inspired dishes.
A Boulder native, Lockwood was chef de cuisine at New York City’s Eleven Madison Park and has worked at Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, California’s French Laundry and Spain’s celebrated El Celler De Can Roca.
Chef Lockwood’s wood-fired, five-course Israeli dinner menu includes: squash and its seeds with tahini yogurt, white truffle gnocchi with Jerusalem artichoke with walnut and parmesan; half chicken with hot pepper, lemon and strained yogurt; whole roasted turbot for two with a green schug (Yemenite hot sauce), shiitake, miso-brown butter emulsion; and honey meringue with sesame and milk ice cream.
