"The list of chefs returning to cook at Coi next week for the restaurant’s 12th anniversary reads like a rolodex of the industry’s most successful: Evan and Sarah Rich (Rich Table, RT Rotisserie), James Syhabout (Commis, Hawker Fare), Brett Cooper (Aster), Gavin Schmidt (The Morris), and others have gone on to helm their own celebrated restaurants in the Bay Area, with more, like Evelyn Wu (of Toronto’s Boralia), and Carlos Salgado (of Taco María, LA Times’ best new restaurant of 2018), achieving the same farther afield." - Caleb Pershan
