"New York City “There could have been an encyclopedia dedicated to NYC’s restaurant collaborations this year. But Maison Yaki’s pop-up series stood out from the rest because of its investment in the restaurant community’s Black entrepreneurs. In early June, about a week after George Floyd’s murder, the owner of Brooklyn’s Maison Yaki opened his kitchen to local Black chefs for a series of pop-ups. Over the summer, eight chefs rotated through the kitchen - like Southern chef Jared Howard, who started his own biscuits and chicken project, and fine dining pastry chef Camari Mick, who made desserts like fig sticky toffee putting with date soy sauce ice cream. Maison Yaki’s Black Entrepreneur Series might have been a small step, but it was a step in the right direction for a city that needs to do a much better job of supporting Black chefs.” -Hannah Albertine, NYC Staff Writer" - team infatuation
"Diners lucky enough to enjoy a meal at Maison Yaki in Brooklyn can feast on scallops dressed with sauce Maltaise, a Hollandaise sauce made with blood orange juice."
"Chef Greg Baxtrom has converted his French-Japanese spot Maison Yaki into an ongoing popup spot highlighting Black food entrepreneurs in the city. Each person takes over the space for two weeks, serving varied menus for takeout. The popup will likely run through the end of the year, and has already featured Lani Halliday of gluten-free bakery Brutus’ Bakeshop and Jared Howard of Honey Bunny’s Chicken. Keep an eye on Maison Yaki’s Instagram account for the most up-to-date information on the popup." - Eater Staff
"Maison Yaki, a French Japanese skewer spot that was billed as a more affordable counterpart to sibling Olmsted, has closed in Prospect Heights after launching in 2019. The team has turned the space into Petite Patate, a pivot from chef and owner Greg Baxtrom, that features straightforward French casual fare in a restaurant named for his dog, Spud." - Luke Fortney
