Chef Ron Eyester was in the kitchen the day Food 101 in Morningside opened several years ago, and now he’s made it his own.

There’s a fresh coat of paint and a few minor changes but what won’t vary is the menu: Eyester is still turning out the fried chicken, trout and shrimp and grits his diners have come to love.
