Nina Compton Out at Scarpetta; Marlon Rambaran In

A huge change was announced for Scarpetta today. Chef Scott Conant's eatery at Fontainebleau is about to bring in Marlon Rambaran (most recently of The Backyard Restaurant in New York) as their new chef de cuisine. Miami.com reports that current chef Nina Compton is leaving her position at the restaurant and that Thursday will be her last day. As for why she is parting ways with the restaurant, the Top Chef contestant, who tells the blog, "I needed to figure out my step," has plans to "take some time off to travel before returning to a professional kitchen."
