"… These two have been local industry luminaries for a long time, and if you listen carefully you can hear a big "OMG at last," from many, many cooking lines in local kitchens. Both are Tim McKee protégés: Hesse opened Masu and has been making Libertine taste good since it opened in 2014, and Nelson started cooking for McKee in the kitchen at La Belle Vie Stillwater in 2000 … Hesse and Nelson's new spot looks to … take food that people already like, and make it with all the cheffy insight and tricks of the trade which make it better."
