Chef Gray Kunz of Lespinasse Dies at Age 63 | Eater

"Opened as the chef’s post‑Lespinasse New York project in 2004 at the Time Warner Center and closed by 2008, this restaurant represented his effort to translate his exacting standards and international sensibility into a more contemporary venue; later iterations of the concept were helm‑led in Asia, with locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong while he was working with a hotel group there. Though shorter lived than his earlier enterprise, the venture continued his trajectory of high‑profile restaurant work and was part of the late‑career phase that some critics and peers viewed as under‑appreciated." - Amanda Kludt
