Endo Kazutoshi's name is all over London. It's on Endo at the Rotunda (notoriously one of the city's hardest-to-book restaurants); it's on the top floor of Raffles at the OWO in the form of Kioku at Endo; and it's more discreetly on the bill at Niju, a swanky Japanese spot in Mayfair. And now, it's on the label of a bottle of whiskey.

The culinary collaboration that saw Oakland chef Nelson German cook a Dominican-Ethiopian menu at Eox & Nyx in downtown San Jose earlier this month will move to San Francisco for the second part of the swap. Eos & Nyx chef Nicko Moulinos will cook Oct. 23 at Meski, the restaurant from Warriors star Draymond Green and chef German, who first made a name for himself with his two other ventures, Oakland's alaMar Kitchen and Sobre Mesa.

Inside the chef's kitchen, the countertops have recessed wells of water to replicate Carbone's pasta cookers inside the eateries, allowing residents to drop their pasta directly.
