Ed Harris Look-Alike in the Fairmont Kitchen

Candy tells us at a meeting a few weeks ago that there’s a good looking chef doing some exciting things with the cuisine at the Fairmont Hotel. “He looks like George Harris,” Candy says. George Harrison? We wondered. “No, not the Beatle,” Candy says. “Ed Harrison?” she suggested. “Ah, Ed Harris,” we said in unison. Well, no matter who he looks like, the word on the ground is that the new executive chef, J.W. Foster, is using all sorts of local purveyors for Texas quail, venison, and even grapefruit. We’ve also heard he’s instituted some wide ranging “green” procedures for the kitchens. He even bicycles to work. What’s the verdict on the food? I appeal to you, dear readers.
