We've go the answer: January 2010 from today's Chronicle: http://blogs.chron.c...ed_executi.html [Danny] Trace has been named as the new executive chef for Brennan's of Houston, which is expected to open in January, co-owner Alex Brennan-Martin announced Tuesday. ... Like many in New Orleans, Trace lost everything in Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But the Louisiana native rebuilt his home and career. When the Commander's family opened Café Adelaide, it asked Trace to come in as executive chef. Trace earned good reviews at Café Adelaide, which led to his executive chef position with Commander's Palace & On the Rocks Bar. ... According to Brennan-Martin, the Brennan's of Houston menu will marry modern Creole cooking with Texas Creole cuisine and Trace's own touches honed at Café Adelaide and a "Floribbean" flair from Destin.
