The New Evaristo Club, affectionately named Trisha's in honor of its long-serving Italian matriarch Trisha Bergonzi, has been a mainstay of the area for more than 80 years, with Amy Winehouse, Led Zeppelin, and Anthony Bourdain (bottom right) as former clients.

We are an odd breed of chefs, according to the ALASDAIR GILL. There was no alternative for many of us. We often have pedigree nomads who can't comprehend the education system or embrace the office routine. We were pleasantly surprised by life's mysteries. We were welcomed into the kitchen to create magic between a knife and fork. Although the external battle for excellence trumps internally, it's internal that it's more poignant. A slur of destruction could have wreaked havoc on the commiss chef for removing the veal stock, but it wouldn't have come to the shame he felt beneath his fat-soaked, buttoned chef whites.
