Katsuji Tanabe—a renowned chef and three-time alum of Bravo TV’s hit competition series Top Chef—has opened restaurants stretching from Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Chicago and New York City. But Tanabe relocated to Raleigh in late 2019, right before the pandemic shut down restaurants. Tanabe’s newest project is ready for lift off, however, with A’Verde Cocina and Tequila Library set to pay homage to Tanabe’s roots in Mexico City while featuring ingredients found local to the Raleigh area. A menu that offers a variety of the chef’s favorite dishes, from cornbread and refried beans to pork shanks, octopus tacos and vegetable-forward offerings, is expected to be served starting in spring of this year. A’Verde Cocina and Tequila Library will be located in Cary at 2300 Walnut St.
