Here in Fat City, we've been wondering for some time where chef Michael Peterson was hanging his toque.
The charismatic Peterson, who first made his mark as the executive chef of the Grand Street restaurant in the 1990s (when it was still owned by PB&J Restaurants), went on to work in -- and in some cases co-own -- several area restaurants.
This week, he was hired by restaurateur Forbes Cross to be the executive chef at the yet-unopened Hickok's Southwest Bar & Grill.
Peterson's resume includes stints at the late Fedora restaurant; as the opening chef in the kitchen of Trezo Mare in the Briarcliff Shopping Center; and the chef-partner of the short-lived coffeehouse and restaurant Segafredo Zanetti, on the west side of the Country Club Plaza.
"Michael will help us expand the menu at Hickok's," Cross says. "We'll still have Mexican dishes and burgers, but Michael will create specials and add his own talents to the menu we had already conceived."
