"For chef David Lawrence, steakhouses are soaked in nostalgia. Lawrence grew up in London, where his father worked at a number of steakhouses including Berni Steakhouse and the Village Inn, and it is among the first style of restaurants the younger Lawrence later worked at. He’s since held jobs at renowned restaurants including Michelin-starred Le Gavroche with the Roux brothers. He later moved to the States, working at 231 Ellsworth and the Carnelian Room before opening 1300 Fillmore and Black Bark BBQ in San Francisco. Now, Lawrence is returning to his steakhouse roots, leading the kitchen at the new Healdsburg restaurant Goodnight’s Prime Steak + Spirits." - Dianne de Guzman
