...Boston Globe newspaper she has managed the improbable. With a long, gorgeous, barrel-vaulted main hall in particular, Lohan has again made industrial modernism beautiful -- and without a bit of frippery. W.G. Clark and Charles Menefee have accomplished their own unlikely feat with the cool, cool Middleton Inn: here are glass houses that delight as glass houses have not delighted in a generation. Overlooking a South Carolina river, the inn boasts rooms that are perfect modernist compositions: light, airy, lively, serene. Clark and Menefee's work, like most of the best work by younger Americans today, is all about restraint...
...Grant was laid off from his $30,000-a-year job two years ago, on the day before he and his wife planned to close the purchase of their first house. That dream is postponed now.

So says Albert Roux, who with Brother Michel owns several celebrated restaurants, including Le Gavroche in London and the Waterside Inn in nearby Bray. Both boast the Guide Michelin's top rating, three stars. The Rouxs are among a number of prestigious European chefs and restaurateurs opening branches in the U.S. Currently the brothers provide inspiration, advice and some financial backing to Michael's Waterside Inn, a superb and comfortably inviting restaurant in Santa Barbara, Calif. The inn, which opened...
Albert and Michel hope the inn will be the first of many outposts in this country. To that end they are seeking out and training gifted young American chefs, like Michael Hutchings, the controlling partner in their Santa Barbara pilot venture. Some of the menu offerings are Roux inventions -- the cloudlike cheese souffle adrift in a cream and Gruyere sauce and the succulent beef tournedos in robust red-wine sauce with an earthy hotchpotch of mushrooms. Equally delectable are Hutchings' own creations -- tender abalone in a beurre- blanc sauce with caviar, and squab mellowed in a shallot-scented Cabernet sauce...
