Of course, by mentioning Kronner’s name with a restaurant, the immediate question posed by his many avid followers will be, “Is there a KronnerBurger?” Well, there is indeed a burger by Kronner. Chef Chris Kronner at Henry's (Wendy Goodfriend) Henry’s is striving to be both an accessible, casual spot for the local community but also has enough going for it that the entire Bay Area will take notice. Along with his immense cooking talent combined with a slick design revamp, the sweeping changes make Henry’s far more than just a destination for tailgating before heading to nearby Memorial Stadium or for students to be treated to dinner by parents if all of the Chez Panisse and Corso reservations are taken. Oski couldn’t be happier this spring.Ĭhris Kronner ( KronnerBurger) has arrived.

Luckily for Bay Area diners and Golden Bear students, staff and fans alike, things have dramatically changed at Henry’s.

It wasn’t a place for anything ‘craft’ and you certainly couldn’t call it a ‘gastropub’ when it came to food quality. Despite being in the land of Chez Panisse and all things artisanal and organic, Henry’s really has always just been a pub. He lives on with Durant Street and the Hotel Durant located on his namesake thoroughfare right by the now-named UC Berkeley campus, along with the 90-year old watering hole attached to the hotel, Henry’s. Yes, that’s right - the visionary higher education pioneer of the 19th century, who founded the University of California, is back in the spotlight. However, in Berkeley, it’s all about a different Durant at the moment - Henry Durant. Kevin Durant might be the biggest ‘Durant’ celebrity around the Bay Area these days.
