Brad Ball and his Bistro

In November Bistro Sixteen82 will turn only two years old, yet it has already become a tremendously popular casual dining restaurant. Chef Brad Balls’ passion and drive coupled with an original interpretation of modern bistro fare has resulted in an enriching gastronomic experience. So what is it about the man that makes the Bistro the place it is today? A few snippets on his personal food philosophy reveal how three basic tenets underpin his personal path to success.

With the décor, service and setting taken as read, for Brad it’s all about the food: “Balance for me should always be the focus with anything food-related, be it sweet-sour, soft-crunchy, or hot-cold – finding that balance, as well as contrast, is very important.”
