On a sweltering June afternoon he was preparing creamed collards, a sly modulation of the Southern culinary canon that is typical of his style. In his hands a vegetable like collard greens, grown dull by repetition, can appear in an entirely new light, without offending the spirit of the dish.
Last fall he was looking for a vegetable to serve with a T-bone to the kind of customer who orders steak and potatoes out of habit.
"I wanted to stay familiar to the traditions of a steakhouse, but to use the Southern ingredients I had in hand," he said. "Creamed collards was one of those ideas that hit me, like a fried green tomato B.L.T."

"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”

I had a wonderful time in Charleston recently. Glass Onion, Husk for lunch and dinner, etc etc. But surprising Hominy Grill "twice" is the one I'll most remember. Comparing Husk to Hominy Grill would be apples and oranges. Though the later touched my soul and felt like coming home. That happens rarely.
