Jeff McInnis has left Gigi and that is the end of the place.
He reportedly had unresolvable differences with the owners which centered around how to grow the business without losing its value and uniqueness. The powers that be were eager to branch out into other locations and other culinary niches, straying from the "Southern BBQ Asian" that Gigi has defined the market for. Jeff, being a stubborn genius and perhaps not totally full of shit, did not see Gigi Sushi 2 Go and Gigi Grilled Cheese Food Truck as worthy strategic objectives.
The Miami way of things guarantees that one person in charge gets greedy and ruins it for everyone else and this is no exception. Without Jeff there is no Gigi. Gigi's spark was its unique cuisine: unpredictable, trendy but not trite. The former head Sous-Chef de Cuisine, who is defining a new menu to be launched next week, has an impossible task ahead of him. He is a fiddler on the deck of the Titantic.
