Christian Gaal lands at Farmers' Cabinet

Yet another nice get for Center City's The Farmers' Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.), which just landed Jason Goodman as its new chef the other day — bartender Christian Gaal, late of the just-sold-off Noble (2025 Sansom St.), now calls the F-Cab home.
Gaal, who is no stranger to CP — Felicia D'Ambrosio profiled him when he first started at Noble back in 2009, and he also helped us out with our fall 2010 piece on peculiar spirits — joins his ladyfriend Phoebe Esmon, who's been head bartender and bar manager at the Cabinet since it opened. Perhaps Gaal and Esmon will reprise the always-hilarious Saturday-night simul-mixing "Monogamous Cocktail Experience" we enjoyed more than a few times at Noble — Gaal's slated to hop behind the stick this weekend.
