Carol Wallack, former chef at Deleece, is opening her own spot on Jan. 25 or 26. While the menu focuses on contemporary American cuisine with lots of Asian influence (fresh veggies, ginger, Asian spices), Wallack says service will focus entirely on you; she interviewed about 1,000 potential servers to fill about 15 positions to ensure she got the creme de la creme. "It was like trying out for 'American Idol,'" she says. "It was crazy!" And what does great service mean? For starters, Wallack says she's waiting on a loading zone permit to enable curbside pickup. "There's nothing worse than getting a kid out of a car seat." Just phone ahead, place your order, then use your cell to let them know you're waiting outside.
