LES Bites: Yunnan Kitchen, Rizzo’s Pizza, Best Breakfast

Today’s Lower East Side food notes: a new chef at Yunnan Kitchen, Rizzo’s Pizza debuts on Monday and more…

A few days ago Yunnan Kitchen chef Travis Post announced he was leaving the restaurant to pursue other projects. Via twitter and Linked-in, we now learn that his successor will be Kevin Chun. A veteran of Macao Trading Company and Soho House (among other establishments), he was on the job on Clinton Street last night.

Rizzo’s Pizza, the Astoria import, has its grand opening Monday at 17 Clinton St., beginning at 4 p.m.

The Serious Eats gang digs breakfast on the Lower East Side at: Shopsins, Russ & Daughters and Classic Coffee Shop.
