About that Starr corporate chef posting

We were surprised to hear the other day from a very reliable chef source who told us he'd been offered a walkthrough of the former Deux Cheminees at 12th and Locust — a space that has long been earmarked for Starr Restaurant Organization corporate executive chef Chris Painter's restaurant Il Pittore. That, coupled with this job posting for, well, Starr's corporate executive chef (also passed along by a tipster), got the gears turning a little: Could the Italian restaurant we just updated about the other day be off the table? Not the case, according to Painter: When Il Pittore does open (in late summer), the chef will "no longer be in the corporate role. That is why you saw the ad." Ahhh, makes sense. But what about that walkthru? As we understand it, the deal for the space is not yet official, so there's nothing stopping ownership from showcasing it to interested parties, just because.
