Christopher Kearse's Will opening Friday

POSTED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 11:56 AM

In one of the speediest turnarounds we've seen here at Meal Ticket, Christopher Kearse's Will (1911 East Passyunk Ave.) will open this Friday, making good on his promise to whip a vacant Passyunk storefront into shape for his solo debut by summer's end. The clean, gray-and-choolate stage is now set for Kearse's style of precise, driven cooking; opening menu items include poulard with goat's milk gnudi; scallop with uni creme and wild fennel; and Atlantic skate with clams and scapes (see what he did there?). We've got the full menu (with some sick-sounding desserts) after the jump. Need additional convincing? Read Kearse's gripping bio and peep this video of his meticulous plating, both by Drew Lazor.
