Big news on the collab front

POSTED: Thursday, January 3, 2013, 1:25 PM

Word dropped today via The Insider of a traveling series of collabs bringing together Fond's Lee Styer, Will's Chris Kearse, Rittenhouse Tavern's Nick Elmi, and Lacroix's Jon Cichon. It probably goes without saying that this is a pretty big deal.

The first meal is scheduled for Sun., Jan. 13 at Will BYOB (1911 E. Passyunk Ave.)—an eight-course feast at $100 per guest, laden with what we have to assume will be inventive takes on sea robin, octopus, smoked beef cheek, oysters, and more (read: foie gras cannoli). The full menu for the first dinner is after the jump; Will is fairly tiny so you might want to jump on this one pretty quickly.

Of course, if you miss out on this one, stay tuned: each chef will host a dinner at their own restaurant in turn—one per month, culminating in April.
