It's difficult to fault the top chef, though. He turns out to be different from the original hire, who parted ways with the hotel shortly before its ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 18.
On November 10th I got a PM that said, "Jockey Club opened last Saturday."
I text messaged back, "Worth an early visit?"
The reply: "They weren't ready to open."
