"Grist is the casual fine dining love child of married chef-owners Casey and Patrick Van Voorhis. After early careers in highly respected (and highly competitive) restaurants on the West Coast, the Van Voorhises wanted a spot where they could fall back in love with simple French- and Italian-inspired food. Items change constantly, but a recent favorite is the decadent but rustic, 72-hour braised beef and polenta. Whatever your meal, be sure to start with freshly baked bread still warm from the oven." - David Nilsen
