Chris DeBarr, the chef who put the Delachaise Hotel on the food map with his acclaimed bar menu, has left the restaurant, according to a blog posting this afternoon by his partner, the novelist Poppy Z. Brite.

DeBarr was named the city's "Best New Chef" by New Orleans magazine in 2006. In Gambit's current cover survey of the 50 best bars in New Orleans, the Delachaise ranked #4, with the editors citing DeBarr's "adventurous menu of wild-boar patés and duck fat pommes frites."

No word as to why DeBarr has left, or where you'll be able to eat his chilled watermelon soup and Creole tomato BLT salads in the near future...

The comments on this thread have been removed, as they did not meet the standards as listed in Gambit's Terms of Use. Kids! Kids! Kevin has a headache. Don't make me pull over this car. Sorry to have to kick you all off this thread en masse. I was going to have to strike a few comments, but upon further reflection it seemed fairer just to take down the whole thing so no one would feel slighted. As the song says: you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here (at least not on this thread - I do hope you'll stick around BONO). Thanks.
