Jeffrey Stout, the chef-owner of Campbell’s perennially packed Orchard City Kitchen, will tap his Michelin roots for his upcoming venture.

He will create an Italian-themed steakhouse near his current location at the Pruneyard.

Although Stout says the restaurant is at least a year out, it already has a name: Be Steak A. That’s an American play on the Italian word for steak, “bistecca,” which on menus is typically seen as “Bistecca alla Fiorentina,” a Tuscan-style porterhouse.

“I like it as it tells everything: Steak. Italian. American. Big. Bold,” he says.

High-end steaks figure prominently in Stout’s résumé. At Alexander’s Steakhouse in Cupertino, he and his staff earned a Michelin star for three consecutive years. In 2014, he jumped out on his own with Orchard City Kitchen, which specializes in creative small plates and craft cocktails.

Orchard City Kitchen has been awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand — the honor given for affordable dining — three years running.

Be Steak A will go into the space currently occupied by the Outback steakhouse.

What’s next for Outback? Stay tuned.
