Dinner Dare with Joe Truex and Mihoko Obunai of Repast
It was a romance that blossomed in the kitchen -- and is still cooking. Chefs Joe Truex and Mihoko Obunai, owners of Repast in Midtown, first met on the line of a catering kitchen in New York. They married, moved to Atlanta and on Feb. 14, 2006, they opened their own restaurant.
For a Valentine’s meal, the couple picked two of their favorite dishes and paired them with a simple spinach salad. Both Obunai’s tuna and Truex’s traditional crab cake will be on the restaurant’s menu on Valentine’s Day. But first, they took a few moments to share a romantic meal you can prepare at home in about 30 minutes. See links below for the accompanying dishes.
