Cooking with local ingredients, and therefore changing menus with the seasons, may be trendy right now, but it has its risks. Customers returning to try a favorite dish may find it gone, replaced with the chef's inspiration of the month. Chef Mark Bodenstein came to the Relish Group's Chalk from NuVo (which has recently closed). He changed his menu seasonally there, too, and served arrestingly contemporary, almost experimental dishes. At Chalk, he's backed away from that edge a little. You're now more likely to notice the skill and appropriateness of his techniques and combinations, though they are still interesting.
