Figs at 29 Fair by Todd English

Charismatic celebrity chef and entrepreneur Todd English, whose food empire stretches from Boston and New York to Los Angeles is bringing a new vibrancy to the Nantucket restaurant scene for 2009 with his very popular Figs name.

English’s accomplishments are so many that it sometimes seems there must be three or four Todd Englishs but the accolades are all for one ultra-talented and dynamic chef. Recently named to the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America, English has been the recipient of innumerable other awards.

The bold and complex flavors of his justly famed rustic Mediterranean cuisine are on the menu, as Chef English, three-time James Beard Award winner and Emmy nominated host of the PBS television series “Food Trip with Todd English” introduces Nantucket’s most exciting new restaurant in many years.

Located a short stroll from Main Street, Figs has three separate, romantic candlelit dining rooms, each with original brick fireplaces, exposed beams and antique sconces all located in a building that dates back to 1709.

In addition to dinner, Figs will be serving brunch on Sundays and is open from Mid-May until New Years day.
