Many diners were distressed by the departure of Revolution 2029 from the Hollywood restaurant scene. But fans of former chef David Sloane now have a reason to celebrate: He's turned up as executive chef at Dancing Bear (333 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-779-7374).

In fact, his new dinner menu debuted just this past week. "Now Mark's got competition," Sloane says, referring to Mark Militello of Mark's Las Olas. Celebrity-chef death match, anyone?
