The tennessean.com reports that eGullet Society member Chef Sean Brock will leave the Hermitage Hotel for McGrady's Restaurant in Charleston in two months.

The move is somewhat surprising, since Brock was given tremendous freedom, and an equally tremendous budget, to pursue his experiments in culinary constructivism involving liquid nitrogen and protein binders such as transglutaminase. Carrying on the work of Spanish food-chemistry genius Ferran Adrià, Brock's curiosity and creativity garnered national attention for the young chef, who is still three years shy of his 30th birthday.

The distance is exactly 265 miles which I have driven in 5-6 hours, weather permitting ... I am equally anxious to sample Chef Brock's cuisine at his new location.

Coming from you, Chef Blais, this is some compliment on a fellow chef's abilities! Thanks for your input here today!
