I still remember the wistful e-mails I got way back, asking where chef Charlie Durham had gone after the closure of Cassis. Then, it turned out he was at the Sand Point Grill, adding new life and spark to the menu of a neighborhood favorite. I’m glad now that I can pre-emptively announce that I know where Durham is landing after leaving Sand Point (the new owners will now helm that kitchen.) Judy Neldam, owner of the Grange Cafe in Duvall, housed in a 1926 Grange Hall, wrote to alert me that Durham will take over as the cafe’s executive chef when he returns from a trip to Paris. The cafe’s menu is similar to Sand Point’s, she wrote, it has a close connection to local farms and dairies, and “I am sure Charlie will take what we have done and add his own signature to it.” Look for him there in about two weeks.
