Benu chef Corey Lee's restaurant at SFMOMA is an exhibition of its own, with a rotating menu comprised of dishes from 80 famous chefs around the world. You might taste David Chang's sausage and rice cakes, René Redzepi's wood sorrel granita, or Wylie Dufresne's shrimp grits. The cool white space is divided into a main dining room and a lounge, the latter of which serves a more informal but no less pedigreed menu. Wherever you sit, you'll have an experience that manages to be both purposely derivative and delightfully original.
