      <content>That menu says the chef is Eddie Blyden (formerly of 21st Amendment and Sneaky Tiki).

Winterland's chef was Vernon Morales.</content>

      <content>Jezzus!  Sorry I read an article earlier today, just checked and it is the Bar Tender from Winterland now at Alembic..  sorry!

Maybe you can call the Bar Tender he might know.  I liked Winterland when they first opened. Went back right before they closed and it was the strangest vibe and the worst food.</content>

      <content>After they closed they started doing prix fixe dinners on Thursday nights (two seatings) and private parties. I don't know if they're stilling doing that, but their website is still up: www.winterlandrestaurant.com.</content>

      <content>I've heard a recent rumor that Winterland's chef has ambitions to reopen Winterland with a different owner/investor.  I have no clue how far along that ambitions has been brought to reality.</content>
