Brasserie Le Jasper

Boston Culinary Legend Jasper White Has Died | Eater Boston

"Opened in 1983 and run successfully for the next 12 years, the award-winning Restaurant Jasper helped define “New American” cuisine nationally; White eschewed French fine-dining traditions to spotlight seasonal New England cooking, offering inventive takes on fish chowder and a pan-roasted lobster that was a favorite of Julia Child. The chef’s influence earned him a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast in 1991, and the restaurant closed in 1995 because White did not want to continue operating through the decade-long Big Dig construction." - Erika Adams
