Coming soon: Hen's Revenge, an all-female Philly industry night
Jennifer Zavala, the former El Camino Real chef and Top Chef contestant who's working on launching the Cherry Bomb Bus, will start hosting monthly female-driven industry nights, cleverly titled Hen's Revenge. This is not to say bros aren't allowed to attend; it's just that the bar and kitchen of whatever venue hosts the event will be staffed exclusively by female talent. "There's a lot of dudeness in the restaurant industry," says Zavala. "I want to get the girls out from hiding behind the line so they can get the culinary credit they deserve."
Slated for the third Monday of each month, each Hen's Revenge will highlight different female chefs and bartenders. Jen Choplin of Watkins Drinkery (1712 S. 10th St.), Lisa Howell of Resurrection Ale House (2425 Grays Ferry Ave.) and RAH bartender Molly O'Neill will kick off the series on the 23rd; they'll serve dishes like lamb shawarma nachos, andouille pigs in a blanket and lentil/mushroom vegan meatloaf at Teri's (1126 S. Ninth St.). It'll run from 10 p.m. to last call or until the food runs out. Standard industry-night rules apply — show a bar/restaurant paystub at the door to get in; free food, pay as you go for drinks (there will be specials).
