A

Chinghiale: That's a good question. I heard he was doing some guest cooking over in England at the Fat Duck, supposedly the best restaurant in the universe, so I'm looking forward to someday tasting his food again at this long-discussed future restaurant. Shola has been known to read and contribute to this Q-and-A from time-to-time, so perhaps he's out there reading now? Shola - you out there? Can you fill us in on your whereabouts?

Yes, Shola has been a lot harder to track ever since he got that magic truffle that turns him invisible.

Hey, someone poached my screen name (and misspelled it)!

Shola's still in town at least occasionally. One of my friends (who had no prior knowledge of studiokitchen) randomly met him in a coffeeshop two weekends ago and they started up talking about food. I'll ask her what he's up to.

There has been a whole thread that describes Studio Kitchen and Shola's leaving ... but no updates to describe his whereabouts, plans to return (we all fervently hope!!) ... or plans generally!! I'd even be happy to know when he's visiting PHL, so I can shake hands with this giant of PHL cuisine ...
