At the golden hour between lunch and dinner, chefs prep for another full shift.
Immediately after lunch rush, the early-riser chefs call it day. For other restaurant owners, the day is just beginning. During that afternoon golden hour when everything seems shut down downtown, chefs are behind the scenes either cleaning and closing up shop, like Ricky Moore at Saltbox Seafood Joint, or hustling in the kitchen to square away dinner service, like longtime chef Scott Howell.
