Behind The Scenes At The Fiskebar Takeover Of Frankies 457

On Monday night in Brooklyn, a famed Copenhagen restaurant, Kødbeyens Fiskebar, subbed in for Carroll Gardens neighborhood standby Frankies 457 Spuntino, and we were there to capture all the action. The Takeover, as the teams called it, completed a transatlantic trade-off after Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli took over the Fiskebar kitchen in June. In Brooklyn, the seafood-centric Danes worked up a tantalizing seven-course dinner for a sold-out crowd of astute diners, including many Danish ex-pats. We're not sure who asked the question "What would happen if a Danish fish restaurant took over a Brooklyn Italian restaurant for a night?" But now we have the delicious-looking answers.
