The immensely talented Takashi, with a superstar status, is currently at Ambria Restau- rant, one of Chicago's top three dining spots, which he will leave Feb. 10 for the coveted Tribute post.

Takashi will fit in well with this theme, having worked with French masters, trained in Japan, plied his trade in France and in fine restaurants in the United States.

His mind-bog- gling innovative styles also take in a big emphasis on light foods.
