Tim McGinnis out at Plenty
Chef Tim McGinnis, who was just featured in last week's Meal Ticket Magazine, tells us he's no longer cooking, brining and smoking at South Philly market Plenty (1710 E. Passyunk Ave.) — looks like he's heading to the Emerald Isle instead. McGinnis, who recently completed a graduate degree at St. Joseph's, sends along the following statement about his plans:
After building a strong foundation at Plenty and finishing my graduate work in Food Marketing I'm making the leap into the corporate world. However. before I become part of the establishment I'm taking one long trip to my motherland, Ireland to be exact. The land of Guinness and pasty white skin to live with friends and take in the sacrifices my ancestors, my people endured to make a better life for me and the rest of my family here in the U.S. a hundred or so years ago.
No official word just yet on who will be replacing McGinnis at Plenty, but we'll keep you posted.
UPDATE [20may11]: Plenty owner Jesse Spalletta checks in with the following info: "As you know, Tim is no longer with Plenty. Other than that change, everything else will remain the same. It should be a seamless transition. There are no plans to replace Tim, we have a great kitchen staff and will be adding a couple supporting roles."

- bummer. Their sandwiches have become a regular takeout item around my place. Hopefully the successor will hold on to their tasso ham, meatball, and smoked/spiced turkey recipes.— thebizz
