Donovan's Downtown Gets Fishy with Hot New Chef
Chef Durfield is incredibly talented and he does have extensive background in fine dining! He has worked with the talented and celebrated Chefs James Boyce, William Bradley and Michael Mina. I have no doubt that you will see great things from this chef! However, it’s unfortunate that whoever wrote this article and/or whoever approved it, didn’t take the time to make sure they were reporting facts- unfortunate for this chef and unfortunate for the public reading this. It’s a small world; the cooking world is an EVEN smaller world. Chef Durfield is humble and a man of integrity. He would never want to take credit for something he didn’t EARN. The Relaix & Chateau does not belong to him. Just to clarify… The Relaix and Cheatau award belongs to William Bradley and Addison Restaurant at the Grand del Mar. He was a part of the team that garnered this award, but Kemar Durfield, as a chef, was not inducted into Relaix and Cheatau. Thomas Keller is no doubt one of Chef Durfield’s idols, but he would never undeservingly name drop something like that! I hope for Chef Durfield’s sake, you have not tarnished his name and that this will be corrected.— October 27, 2011 12:51 a.m.
