"When diners enter a neighborhood rotisserie chicken spot, they don’t usually expect a recent James Beard-winning chef to be behind it. But there’s one in charge of Chook: Fruition Restaurant and Mercantile Dining and Provisions chef Alex Seidel, who won the James Beard Award for Best Chef Southwest just last year. That’s also when he opened this counter-service restaurant, which serves high-quality rotisserie poultry with charred side vegetables along with bottled cocktails and wines by the half glass." - Gigi Sukin
