Brooklyn Exposed names Jean Adamson (Vinegar Hill House), Alex Raij (La Vara), Elizabeth Falkner (Krescendo), Zahra Tangorra (Brucie), and Rachel Graville (Iris Café) as five notable chefs who kick ass, take names, and are generally taking the borough’s restaurant scene in all sorts of new directions.
