Last December Militello took the reigns as executive chef of
culinary operations at The Regent Bal Harbour. That was only six months
after the last of his four namesake restaurants, Mark's in Boca Raton's
Mizner Park, closed. The Regent Bal Harbour was sold in June.
The Office is the concept of restaurant impresario David
Manero, owner of Vic and Angelo's restaurants in Delray and Palm Beach.
The menu will feature burgers, seafood and brews.
As for 1 Bleu, there is no word yet on who will take
Militello's place. Director of food and beverage Oscar Morales said
they have a couple of candidates but a final decision hasn't been
reached.
We wonder if Militello's new title will be Chief Culinary Officer...and where he'll be next year.
