In honor of Julia Child's recent 100th birthday, the Ace Hotel blog chatted with Beast chef/owner Naomi Pomeroy about the legendary chef's influence. Also, a brief mention as to why Beast's planned downtown space didn't work out: "Back in the spring I thought I was going to move locations, but then a good agreement that was best for the business couldn't be reached — it's okay. I always wait for what feels right." [Ace Hotel]
