This isn't a restaurant that throws around the word "bistro." It really is one. The market-driven fare is moderately priced, with entrees in the $20s and a nice chunk of the wine list under $50 per bottle. Chef Jason Bond is comfortable embracing tradition, and also poking holes in it. Some of the dishes are French classics - pate, duck confit, steak frites. Others Bond has made his own: tea-cured duck with salsify, striped bass with bergamot and fresh bay, a deep vegetable broth with nettle-filled raviolini. When searching for the soul of French cuisine in Boston, don't pass Beacon Hill Bistro by. -- Boston Globe, April 15, 2009

How does a kid growing up in a family of ranchers in the mountains of Wyoming wind up with the soul of a French chef? Through some sort of Dalai Lama-esque reincarnation, perhaps. This is what seems to have happened to Jason Bond of Beacon Hill Bistro. Paul Bocuse is happily still alive, or I might pinpoint him as the one - Bond's comfort with embracing tradition or poking holes in it, his market-driven cooking and grasp of technique, seem inherited from "the grumpy pope of French cuisine," as Alain Ducasse once described Bocuse in Time magazine.
