If the Iron Chef concept—one ingredient used throughout a multi-course meal—were to materialize in a restaurant, would it work? Would a mushroom-centric dinner leave you loving fungi, or loathing them? Would six straight courses of rhubarb-infused dishes convert those who think the root doesn’t even belong in a pie?

Chef Curtis Stone wants to find out.

The Top Chef Masters alum and Food Network superstar brings his dream to life this February with the new Beverly Hills restaurant Maude. Each month, diners will enjoy a prix fixe meal ($75) of nine courses, all centered around one in-season ingredient: February is for citrus, March is for artichokes, April is for peas, and so on. "Our menu in February is inspired by citrus," says Stone, "so we are working with a bunch of varieties including yuzus, finger limes and blood oranges, and we’ll use their juices and rinds in our first bites right through to our desserts. We hope to show our diners just how diverse and incredible Mother Nature and her seasonal fruits and veggies can be."

Named after Stone’s grandmother, Maude is compact (seating just 25 diners)—meaning if you want to find out whether you can handle nine courses of artichoke, reservations are a must.

We chatted with the chefs of a few highly anticipated restaurants so that the next time you're looking for things to do in LA, making a reservation at one of these hot spots will be at the top of your list.
