Phoebe Esmon and Christian Gaal leave The Farmers' Cabinet

Here's some sudden unexpected news for the Philly cocktail set — Phoebe Esmon, who's been responsible for overseeing the cocktail side of the beverage program at The Farmers' Cabinet (1113 Walnut St.) since the joint opened a year ago, is gone. And her fiancé and partner Christian Gaal is gone, too. "The couple has a desire to work jointly, in full collaboration, on a beverage program," reads a statement Esmon blasted out, "a desire that their present position did not fulfill." This means that Sixth-and-Spring Garden tiki bar project we wrote about in December will no longer have their stamp on it. Is it off the table altogether? Have a request in to F-Cab for more info on who's in charge moving forward and will update when we hear.

UPDATE [10:15 p.m.]: "We have been looking around the country for a new leader of our cocktail program and will announce our plans soon," says F-Cab partner Matt Scheller via email. "Any future plans that we have are not affected by their departure."
