When a cook didn’t show up for a shift, Mr. Cailan was handed a knife. He learned his way around a stove and, at home, started doctoring dishes to coax his finicky younger brother to the dining table. PhotoMr. Cailan went on to culinary school and to stints at fine-dining restaurants, then found fame in 2011 with Eggslut, a food truck devoted to egg sandwiches. Instead, by the end of the year, Mr. Cailan hopes to open Paper Planes, which he envisions as part all-day restaurant, part “nouveau deli.” (He is currently scouting locations in downtown Manhattan.) Out with egg sandwiches; in with salty-sweet bowls of yogurt, chia seeds and fermented coconut water.
