cook like zack bruell

February 17, 2010

With the opening of Chinato, I’ve now completed my Tour de Bruell (if only repeat visits to Parallax, L’Albatros and Chinato was a sport…).  And while I haven’t tried these dishes yet, based on my numerous chef Bruell experiences, I’m eager to light up the stove.

chinato review (and a chance to be VIP)

January 28, 2010

He’s done it again. Zack Bruell has opened his fourth Cleveland restaurant with the opening of Chinato on East 4th.  We’re already big Parallax and L’Albatros fans (good food at Table 45, but not really my kinda scene), so I had high expectations for his take on Italian. He did not disappoint.
We went a few [...]

another zack bruell restaurant set to open soon

June 30, 2009

And I thought I had a lot on my plate. Thanks to North Coast Lifestyle’s tweet, I saw that Zack Bruell will be the latest chef to occupy a section of East 4th. According to the Plain Dealer, chef Bruell will open an Italian restaurant later this year:
Soon he’ll be lending his name, formidable imagination [...]

l’albatros (plus cooking demos)

June 19, 2009

To celebrate my birthday last weekend (if you’ve never met me, it was my 29th), Jamie took me to dinner at L’Albatros. He knows me so well – all I wanted was good wine and cheese to accompany it and he picked the perfect spot.
This was our third visit to the restaurant. On prior [...]

table 45

June 9, 2009

When Table 45 first opened, I had every intention of dining there. During an interview for the blog, I spoke to chef Zack Bruell about his then soon-to-open restaurant inside the InterContinental Hotel. He spoke with such enthusiasm for the space, menu and plans for future expansion into other cities. But we never made it [...]

Natalie can now add Parallax to her list of favorite restaurants. And for the record, it was another successful outing with the baby. Not one word from our little foodie.
A few weeks ago, chef Zack Bruell’s PR person e-mailed me to extend an invite for dinner at Parallax on him as a way of saying [...]

L’Albatros

February 4, 2009

Last month, my husband was promoted to VP where we work. While he appreciates it, titles have never really mattered to him and he isn’t one that likes a lot of attention directed his way. As his very proud wife, I was not about to let this go with just a pat on the back. [...]

This restaurant will be the third eatery for Zack Bruell, who also owns one of my favorites, Parallax, as well as Table 45.
Look for [...]

Monday night was girls’ night out at Parallax with my closest friends. One of our childhood friends was in for a brief visit from San Diego so we decided to do what we do best – eat.
I was so happy when my friend suggested Parallax. I love this restaurant, both for the food and atmosphere. [...]
