Current’s New Chef
Fans (like me) of the recently shuttered SLC Eatery will be thrilled to know that SLC Eatery Chef-Partner Logen Crew has resurfaced at Current Fish & Oyster after a brief hiatus. Here is what the folks at Current had to say.
“Chef Logen Crew has returned to Current Fish & Oyster as the new Executive Chef, bringing his wealth of experience and culinary expertise back to the restaurant where he originally created Current’s menu back in 2015. With a career spanning top kitchens in Utah, including Fresco Italian Café, Log Haven, and Trio Restaurant Group, Logen has consistently demonstrated his exceptional talent and drive. We are very excited to have him back with us at Current!”
For my money, Logen is as talented as any chef operating in Utah and I, for one, can’t wait to see what he has in store for the menu at Current.
