Brian Redzikowski has been named executive chef at the year-old Beverly Hills sushi restaurant Bond Street. The 27-year-old Long Island native has spent his career shifting gears between Japanese and French cuisine, with stints as executive chef at Matsuhisa in Aspen, Colo.; as sous-chef at Joel Robuchon at the Mansion in Las Vegas; and as executive sous-chef to chef Akira Back (who once worked at the Aspen Matsuhisa as well) at Yellowtail at the Bellagio. He promises an emphasis on new sashimi dishes.
