Half & Half officially has an executive chef. While chef-owner Mike Randolph (pictured, far right) has always overseen operations at all three of his restaurants – Half & Half, The Good Pie and Little Country Gentleman – Half & Half has not had an executive chef, until now.

Randolph shared news that Chip Bates (pictured, far left), who had been sous chef at Little Country Gentleman, has been appointed as executive chef at Half & Half, the breakfast-brunch spot in Clayton. Since Bates will be solely focused on preparing morning fare, Randolph also noted that he has hired two other individuals to round out the culinary crew for dinner-only Little Country Gentleman. Look for Bates’ spring menu to debut in early April.
