INNOVATIVE GLOBAL TAPAS AND TEMPTING SMALL PLATES RESTAURANT “SOCIAL” brings on new Executive Chef – Rob Wilson and new General Manager – Christian Henrichon
Last winter, Aspen, welcomed Social, a restaurant and lounge, to “Restaurant Row”, the quaint strip on Hopkins Avenue known as a crowd pleaser for the dining set. Social offers cleverly presented global tapas with a decidedly modern and locally fresh approach. The menu is designed to appeal to those who want to try it all; a tasting menu with a vibrant twist.
This winter, Restaurateurs Tommy Tolleson, Gunnar Sachs, and Denise Walters are excited to announce that Chef Rob Wilson (formerly of Matsuhisa, The French Laundry, Ma Maision, and Pacific Café) has joined the team as Executive Chef. Look for an exciting new winter menu, combining Social’s most popular dishes with Chef Rob Wilson’s favorites including a new raw section featuring some of his Japanese inspirations such as cobia with jamon, esplette and unfiltered olive oil; and hamachi with yuzy kositu and sweet soy.
Christian Henrichon (of Matsuhisa and Kenichi) will be leading the Social team as General Manager. Greg Jefferson, local mixologist, will be running the beverage program so now there is even more reason to head up the Social lounge .
Social is reopening for the winter season on November 25, 2008. Located at 304 East Hopkins Avenue on Aspen’s Restaurant Row, Social is open seven days a week from 5:30 until 10 p.m. for dinner. The lounge is open until 1:30 a.m. daily. Both the restaurant and lounge are available for private events . 970-925-9700 www.social-aspen.com
-Eat Aspen Loves the energy coming from the crew over at Social. One of the most promising concepts for new Aspen Restaurants. We really can’t wait to see what the new chef brings to the table.
