He also has won the James Beard Foundation Award. <\/p>\n<p>From the interview:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<strong>Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk about your new restaurant in Savannah. How did you decide on Italian? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Savannah has had iconic restaurants throughout the years but can use some new blood, and I wanted to stay in Georgia. Kyle Jacovino (the executive chef to-be) [whose currently at Five and Ten] is Italian by heritage and recently spent time in Italy. I believe in the Italian style of cooking and in the beauty of food. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been cooking French for so long that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nice to break away and do something different. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a definite kinship between beautifully sourced Southern food and the way Italians have cooked for years. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a reverence for simplicity on both sides.<br \/>\nThink about restaurants like City House in Nashville and Il Buco Alimentari in New York \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p><strong>What type of menu items will you serve?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nA lot of local seafood because Tybee Island and Brunswick, Ga., are right there, and we can get some awesome product. Wood-fired oven cooking. Beautiful octopus. Local shrimp. Anson Mill southern grains like farro. Double Zero flour for pizzas. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be a restaurant that appeals to you for a number of reasons. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have 12-inch pizzas, pastas, and vegetable courses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When I have double-confirmed the proposed location (assuming that anyone will go on the record), I&#8217;ll post an update here.
