Canlis Names Its New Head Chef

When Jason Franey departed Seattle fine dining institution Canlis last year, the national search began for his replacement.

Canlis has announced the hiring of Brady Williams, a 28-year-old chef who has been cooking at Roberta's in Brooklyn, a wood-fired pizza restaurant with a massive waiting list. Williams will be the sixth chef in the restaurant's 64-year history when he starts work April 13. Williams will take some time to get his sea legs before putting his touches on the menu.
