Jeff Axline OUT at Brooklyn Athletic Club, IN at ZaZa

After a little over half a year with the Brooklyn Athletic Club, chef Jeff Axline has moved on to Hotel ZaZa. Axline will be stepping in as the executive banquet chef but apparently considers himself to be a co-executive chef at the 'Za with Jonathan Jones, who runs Monarch, the fine dining establishment inside of the hotel. The split from Brooklyn Athletic Club was completely amicable, and Axline tells CultureMap that he always was planning to just help with the launch of BAC and then move on to new horizons.
