Miss Rachel gets her own kitchen

Rachel Klein, vegan chef/professional sweetheart, will be moving the headquarters of her catering business Miss Rachel's Pantry into the recently vacated Cafe Giordino (1732-34 W. Passyunk Ave.) next month. "We'll run the catering out of the space, as well as have a little dining room for private parties and tasting dinners," she says.

Knot Just Furniture, a salvage carpentry division of North Philly's Atlas Wood Products (the builder is the husband of one of Klein's clients), is currently in the process of constructing a farmhouse table from reclaimed wood, the stage for said parties and dinners. It'll seat 12 to 16 for the multi-course vegan meals Klein says she'll run a few times a month on a reservation-only basis. Meanwhile, painting and other light renovations are on deck. "There's granite everywhere," she says of the former gelateria's Roman Forum-fabulous digs. "We're gonna have to work around that."

Keep tabs on the progress on Klein's blog. She'll be posting photos of the transformation.
