"One Fifth, the experimental restaurant from Chef Chris Shepherd, will host its fourth and final anniversary dinner on January 27. The restaurant, founded in 2017, was created with an ambitious goal — host five restaurant concepts in five years, all within the same building. The restaurant, which has served menus inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, steak and seafood, will offer dishes from past menus as part of the dinner. More information can be found on One Fifth’s website." - Brittanie Shey

"Chef Chris Shepherd closed his popular Underbelly earlier this year (he’s opening steakhouse Georgia James in the space soon). In the meantime, Shepherd is keeping busy at One Fifth, his restaurant that will change concepts annually for five years. For its second iteration, One Fifth Romance Languages, Shepherd is playing with Italian, French, and Spanish cuisines, with blue crab chitarra and snails en croûte on the menu. This fall the flavors will become eastern Mediterranean." - ByChristina Chaey
