Iron Chef Jose Garces tells Food GPS that L.A. is in his sights for a new restaurant. During a discussion about his latest spot El Jefe in the Palm Springs Saguaro, GPS queried Garces whether or not he would eventually be cooking in L.A., and the answer was "absolutely." When Garces plans to do this expansion is still up in the air, and since he mentioned that he's opening a small place here that will be Jose-focused, the timeline might be a ways out. Early comments in L.A. are referring to Garces as a "corporate-minded" chef, so we suggest that since they won't appreciate his hard work, he should just focus on Philly. [Food GPS via Eater LA]
