risottofxUncle Heraclitus came up with a brilliant idea for a nightclub last year at around this time. The concept, as he explained it, was a sedate venue where Boomers could go, eat a meal, perhaps dance a little, and then be home in bed by eight at night–hence the name: Home By Eight. Little did he know that Bruno Jamais had a similar audience in mind when he created his eponymous restaurant. But Bruno’s Place (as it is called by those in the know) gives mid-century babies a bit more credit for endurance; his supper club stays open until 4:00 a.m. and serves dinner until 2:00 a.m.. So when Bruno–former maitre d’ at Restaurant Daniel and Alain Ducasse–invited us to visit and chat with him and the restaurant’s young chef, John Keller, we thought we should see what they’re doing to keep patrons lingering long past midnight.
