Lachman Joins the Passyunk Party
Get psyched for New Nordic cuisine coming soon to East Passyunk.
Lachman Joins the Passyunk Party
Chicago chef Joncarl Lachman sure is resilient. Months ago, during an Eater interview, he expressed interested in Fond's soon-to-be-vacated for space for his forthcoming BYOB Noord, not knowing that Lee Styer plans on holding on to his lease there. With real estate at a premium in South Philly, it didn't look like he'd land a space in his desired hood, but yesterday, Michael Klein broke the official news Lachman has signed a letter of intent with the Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp. for the redbrick building at the southeast corner of 11th and Tasker. (PARC is also Christopher Kearse's landlord at Will on the 1900 block.)
"I couldn't be more thrilled to be coming home to my favorite city," said Lachman, who we included in our recent profile of out-of-town chefs coming here to cook, during an interview this morning. "I'm super excited to be part of the exciting redevelopment of the East Passyunk corridor. To be in a hood with Fond, Stateside and Will... pretty psyched."
Early spring is the word for Noord, which will bring Philly its first taste of New Nordic cuisine, the global movement crystallized at Copenhagen's Noma. Lachman is planning a smoked fish program (smoked shrimp and egg salad tartine, smoked bluefish rillettes...) and growing his own produce. "I have friends outside the city with a bit of land; they're indulging me and letting me grow some of my own vegetables. I'm also excited to introduce bitterballen, the world's best stoner snack, to Philadelphia."
We're more than ready to meet.
