    He actually was fourth on Top Chef Masters. Kevin Pang had an interesting article about it:

    I have enjoyed brunch as well as a couple dinners here immensely. It and Takashi were my favorite one star places. Sadly, it was empty for brunch and even dinner service is not as full as many other places.

    I watched Guytan on regular Top Chef and was rooting for him, though I will admit near the end he engaged in some unpleasant behavior. For the most part he comes off as a generous humble person though. I hope Mexique stays in business.

    Totally agree with the recent sentiment... I was in there on Halloween and had a spectacular meal. Food was interesting and well executed, the service was top notch. We had a later reservation and were among the last couple tables there. When Carlos was leaving for the night, around 11:00 or so, he stopped by our table to chat for a few minutes. If the experience we had that night in terms of service and cuisine was the norm, I am befuddled that they ever lost their Michelin star.

    Per an email I received just a few moments ago, Chef Gaytan will cook with Andrew Zimmerman at an upcoming tasting-menu dinner at Sepia (sponsored by a tequila company).

    not sure how much of that article is hyperbole, but closing forever without informing your guests that had (Saturday) reservations seems like a really crappy thing to do.

    I agree, but we don't necessarily know the whole story; for example, it's possible they made every effort to contact their guests beforehand, but some were not reachable.
