| Chris Schlesinger and his funky bunch of cooks helped put the fun back into fine dining. His flagship restaurant, East Coast Grill, is a stage for his rock-and-roll version of global cooking. The theory here is that the closer one gets to the equator, the more flavor there is in the food. Expect the chile-fueled heat of the Caribbean, the grill-savvy of Latin American cuisine, and the dynamism of Asia when you order from the seafood- and barbecue-heavy menu. The Inman Square location draws a crowd that's as different as the three-part set-up---one with an open kitchen, one with a Polynesian theme, and one with a raw bar. Local academics make a habit out of the Bloody Mary brunch. Tourists flip coins over who is getting North Carolina-style pulled pork or the spice-rubbed mahi mahi with pineapple salsa. And everyone from bike-couriers to couples on date-night spear forkfuls of fun foods like gingered tuna-sausage dumplings and the infamous jerked Wings of Mass Destruction. Then there's the Hell Nights, when ECG rolls out special atomic-themed menu items guaranteed to char your taste buds. |
