Mr. Cutlets brings the news that E.U. owner Jason Hannings canned exec chef Justin Smillie this week for his inability to keep costs down: "'Justin paid more respect to the Greenmarket than to the restaurant.' Smillie, who had replaced Akhtar Nawab, took his entire staff with him this week. An interim crew is running the restaurant, and Hennings has yet to name a new chef. He's not too worried about that, though. 'E.U. was never intended to be a chef-driven concept.'" [Cutlets]
