Chef Kazushige Motoishi starts every morning the same way, by himself in a small side room at Sushi Yamamoto in Beverly Hills, preparing soba by hand. Under the restaurant’s previous tenant, the two-Michelin-star Urasawa, which quietly closed during the pandemic, the small area by the entrance was a rarely used private dining room. The room is now designated to soba preparation for Sushi Yamamoto and Motoishi’s pop-up, Kaiseki Motoishi. On Sundays and Mondays, Motoishi takes over the eight-seat restaurant to serve a multi-course soba lunch and a traditional Kyoto-style kaiseki dinner with a menu of dishes that highlight the season — both here and in Japan – like pike conger eel in dashi and sweet corn donabe rice.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Chef Yia Vang’s new Hmong restaurant, Vinai, is set to finally open in Minneapolis’s former Dangerous Man taproom space on July 30, almost four years after it was first announced. If you’ve been following along with Vang’s story, you know that much has led to this moment: a scrappy pop-up operation; a food hall stall and then a restaurant; 18,500 galabaos prepped and served at the State Fair; a nimble pivot to a summer residency; numerous construction delays and financial setbacks. Vinai has always been Vang’s “love letter” to his parents, who escaped persecution in Laos and forded the Mekong River to reach Thailand’s Ban Vinai refugee camp, where Vang was born, before the family resettled in Minnesota. In a way, then, this restaurant brings him back to exactly where he began.
