The Well-Crafted Kitchen: Inside the Raucous New Paris Restaurant, Déviant | Bon Appétit
"A very small, 450-square-foot first restaurant of the chef that lacks a separate kitchen, so the chef and sous-chef cook behind the counter; the format is intensely intimate and counter-focused so guests can see every part of the operation. The place emphasizes tight organization, choreography and efficient use of space, and is slated for renovation overseen together with the chef’s elderly architect grandfather to make the most of its compact footprint." - ByChristine Muhlke
