"A now-closed, 110-seat Williamsburg neighborhood restaurant, Brooklyn Star was helmed by Baca until it shuttered in May after a nine-year run; he cited increased operating costs, slower summers, and other financial issues as reasons for the closure. At Brooklyn Star he focused on Southern-focused meals, and that Southern flair carries over into occasional dishes at his new izakaya." - Carla Vianna
