Chefs of the Future! This is the second of a three-part series examining how restaurants will work in the years to come.

You know that big, hot restaurant that opened up a few months ago downtown? The one that all [insert your city here] is abuzz about? Chances are that new restaurant is in a hotel or condominium. Nearly every major restaurant that has opened in the last year has been, and it’s likely to remain that way. The most ambitious new restaurant in America, Chicago’s L20, a true temple of gastronomy on the Michelin 3-star model, is located in a luxury apartment building. The same is true of New York’s Locanda Verde, Miami’s Eos, and the entire culinary Mecca that is Las Vegas. It’s just too expensive to build out a big, freestanding place, and too hard to get credit from the bank. (See pictures of what the world eats.)

So how does a young chef in a mid-sized city get to open a great restaurant?

Points of View

Kitchen Spy For the multiuse dining spaces known as 42 atop The Ritz-Carlton Westchester, chef Anthony Goncalves created separate-but connected-work areas.

Chris Styler reports.

Meet Anthony Goncalves. He is well-spoken, appears calm at all times, and is possessed of both Mediterranean good looks and a healthy dose of self-confidence. Goncalves presides over a collection of dining rooms, a lounge, and a private club—all of which are known collectively as 42 and are situated on the top two floors of the new The Ritz-Carlton Westchester in White Plains, New York. His bold food, tempered with a compelling dash of New World ingredients, draws heavily on his Portuguese heritage. Witness Goncalves’ fillet of hake set atop paddlefish roe with a lemon vinaigrette and strewn with a truffled succotash studded with mini lardons, or his duck with apple, powdered bacon, celery root puree, and date molasses. And there is one more thing you should know about Goncalves: He taught himself how to cook—only five years ago!
