OKO and Bussdown Chefs to Take Over Downtown Oakland’s Tribune Restaurant | Eater SF

"I'm reporting that OKO will move into the Tribune space in downtown Oakland beginning October 10, and the supper‑club concept will shift from a tasting‑menu format to la carte offerings. Johnson and Woods say they’ll build on the restaurant’s French foundations while adding Creole twists and gradually introducing new dishes to reflect their pan‑African, Afro‑Latino and broader food diasporas and philosophy; their goal is to make the experience more approachable or “user‑friendly” while maintaining the same elevated food and standards. The takeover is structured as a roughly yearlong hybrid consultant‑residency during which they will “bring OKO in and phase Tribune out.”" - Dianne de Guzman
