Deanie Fox Heads to Coi, Belinda Leong In at Manresa

Pastry chef Deanie Fox has left her post at Manresa and is heading over to work at Coi, according to a representative at Manresa. As you may recall if you follow such things, Fox departed Ubuntu in February along with husband Jeremy Fox, and the two are now separated (she’s now going by maiden name Hickox). Meanwhile, for their pastry station Manresa has hired San Francisco native Belinda Leong, who previously spent nine years in the kitchen at Gary Danko, followed by Michelin-star-studded stints in Europe at Restaurante Martín Berasategui in Spain and Noma in Copenhagen, among several other stops. JFYI, Bill Corbett remains on at Coi and the upcoming Plum as executive pastry chef. [Grub Street]
