Kith and Kin
Former chef David Carrier and his replacement Andrew Brochu, vets of spots like Alinea, cook like Michelin-starred moms. Their spaghetti carbonara, stews, chicken-gravy larded poutine, and crispy fried-chicken thighs are so soulful and comforting, you might not care if mom ever comes back.
