Chef Jess Barnes has resigned from Grossi, InterCon’s trattoria (G/F, 973 Ploenchit Rd., 02-656-0444). We recently gave the man four stars (some of us even lobbied for five), so we’re positively heart-broken. We’re also convinced that his departure has a lot to do with local diners’ inability to get his food, which was a real improvement on how very, very boring Italian food in Bangkok has become. There’s hope yet: Melbournian chef, Guy Grossi, will be sending a replacement in March.
