Two notable closures this year have led to new signs of life. Amanda Turner, former chef de cuisine at Southern fine dining restaurant Olamaie, is opening a new residency at the former home of Hoover's Cooking at 2002 Manor Rd. ChowChow is "opening soon," according to its Instagram page.
ChowChow, referring to a Southern relish that preserves just about anything the maker finds in their fridge or garden, is a fitting follow-up to both soul food restaurant Hoover's Cooking and Olamaie, which closed in March and July, respectively. And Turner is a great person to run it, alongside its co-owner and former Olamaie sous chef Jonathan Sánchez, who will lead the pastry program.
