Heritage breed chickens are at the center of Chef Jared Wentworth's new restaurant concept Café Vivant. These aren’t the industrial hybrid birds we all know with mild-mannered meat that serves as more of a blank canvas for sauces and marinades. Heritage chicken—hardy traditional breeds established before the mid-20th century that mature more slowly—offer firmer texture and a delightful depth of flavor. Jared believes in complexity behind simplicity. “As a young chef, you will throw everything but the kitchen sink at a dish,” he reflects. “You don't need 700 ingredients thrown at something. Let's keep it down to four really pristine ingredients that pair well with this.” Which is why whole-roasted chickens at Café Vivant are spotlighted with their own umami-rich jus simmered from about 300 birds a week. “It's kind of like my Americanized French mole,” he describes.

But its authenticity rendered it too rustic for contemporary living. Let us regale you with Fergus Garber Architects’ herculean task to preserve the soul of this artful adobe while also ushering it into the 21st-century.
