Starr Restaurants has hired a new head honcho with a New York pedigree.
When Alex Lee resigned his pressure-cooker position as executive chef at
Daniel
in 2003 to become the executive chef at
Glen Oaks country club
in Old Westbury, N.Y., he may as well have gone to Mars. A high-profile star seemed to have left the picture.
Now he is back in the restaurant world as the culinary director of
Starr Restaurants
, Stephen Starr’s fast-growing group of 34 restaurants, most in Philadelphia and New York. Mr. Lee, who started last week, will oversee all of them and the other corporate chefs in the organization. Mr. Starr said he expected Mr. Lee to concentrate on the company’s new restaurants...
Hiring Mr. Lee is yet another example of Mr. Starr’s ability to attract marquee chefs. His roster already includes Masaharu Morimoto, Douglas Rodriguez, Justin Smillie, Jason Atherton from London and Daniel Rose from Paris.
