Inside Celebrity Chef Richard Blais’ New SoCal Restaurant, Complete with ELAN Control

When he’s not winning Top Chef All Stars or appearing as a host on the Food Network, Richard Blais is opening organic, locally-sourced restaurants in San Diego. His last San Diego venture, Juniper & Ivy, was so well-received that Blais partnered up with restaurant owner Michael Rosen once again to open a 4,000 square-foot outdoor, open-air venue in the same neighborhood called The Crack Shack.
