Ming Tsai’s new restaurant Blue Dragon is rumored to be opening their doors today. His restaurant is the first since Drink and Sportello opened to get my attention. For all the fanfare about restaurants opening in Fort Point Channel and Seaport, few seem to be memorable, but I feel that could all change with Blue Dragon.
Ming Tsai is one of my favorite chefs in the United States and unlike many celebrity chefs who rely on their name to carry their brand as they open one restaurant after another, Chef Tsai has diligently cultivated a large and faithful following at his Wellesley restaurant Blue Ginger since it first opened in 1998.
Adding to the appeal of the new restaurant is news that one of my favorite bar tenders in Boston will be pouring drinks for Ming Tsai. John Drew has picked up a following of barflies like myself from his days at Anchovies in the South End. While I’d love to have him in my n’hood pouring drinks, Ming’s new restaurant is close enough that I know I’ll be able to get a chance to see more of him.
