Grace Cafe, opening on SE Morrison on Friday, July 23. Chef and co-owner Brian Han—former chef de partie at the two-Michelin-starred Lazy Bear and head of the tasting menu at Aziza—combines Middle Eastern, North African, and Japanese influences, plus elements of his own Korean culture, in partnership with co-owner and former Top Chef contestant BJ Smith (formerly of Smokehouse 21, Smokehouse Tavern, Kim Jong Smokehouse, and more).  In previous iterations, the restaurant was a pop-up called Dirty Habit; through the end of this week, it’s offering lunch under the name Silk Road. The new name, Grace Cafe, is a nod to Han and Smith’s upbringings. “BJ and I are both recovering Catholics,” Han says. “But we really appreciate the congregating and the community and coming together to sit down together and say grace at the table.”
