New food gig for Starr's Ashley Primis

Ah, Ashley Primis, Director of Special Projects for Stephen Starr Restaurant Organization (SRO), we hardly knew ye. Actually wait, we knew ye for quite some time, as the food editor of Philadelphia magazine, until you left that pub 14 months ago to start working for SRO. Once there, Primis talked to the press about upcoming Starr ventures like Route 6 on North Broad Street, the quiet buildup of the beer garden Frankford Hall (opening tomorrow), Talula’s Garden and Il Pittore and kept food fans breathless at the thought of a New Year’s Eve opening of The Dandelion. She built up momentum. She gave me the recipe for smoked trout paté. Now Primis is leaving her post at SRO — quietly, as she isn’t ready for any grand statement, pronouncement or major press release — at the end of this week. Who’ll take her post at SRO is anybody’s guess, as the spot seemed designed just for her. Where she’ll land is the Philadelphia Inquirer's food section, where she’ll tackle mostly non-restaurant, non-critical food coverage, like recipes and entertaining stories. Here's to a happy landing.
