Directors in Mayfield XIV will be led by Navin Chaddha, along with directors Tim Chang (who joined last year), Robin Vasan, Rajeev Batra and James Beck, chief operating officer.
On Monday, the two were jointly honored as the nation's most outstanding chefs by the James Beard Foundation, an exclamation point on circuitous careers that began in other fields Chang in finance and Kahan in computer science but saw them quickly ascend to the top of the restaurant world.
