American Blackboard aiming for late fall

Tim McGinnis, culinary director at Philly Kitchen Share (1514 South St.), checked in to share the name for the restaurant he's planning right next to PKS: American Blackboard, a nod to the "ever-changing seasonal menu" that will celebrate "Lost American" culinary traditions like curing, smoking and cheesemaking. They just broke ground on at the space and hope to have it ready by November. For now, get a taste of McGinnis' food through his American Meats & Provisions sandwich brand (Facebook | Twitter), based out of Kitchen Share and available for catering and at Green Aisle Grocery (1618 E. Passyunk Ave.). Here's a PDF of AM&P's just-launched fall menu.

This place sounds good, but I think he is a little behind the DIY smoking and curing trend... has any new restaurant opened in the past few years that *doesn't* cure their own meats?

Yeah it's not about chasing a trend, it's about sincerely caring about the process. Who cares if other menus featured housecured or housesmoked foods "first"? Like they were the first people to think about it or something? ha! It's not a race, it's about doing it well and doing it right.

It doesn't matter how late they are or how many might be out there...it depends on how GREAT they do it. Based on both Tim McGinnis' and Jason Roberts' experience(in the kitchen and in the FOH) and their love for food, they will kill it in Philly.

as a nearby resident, i don't care if he is catching the curve late - he is bringing it to our hood and it is a great idea. We need food - good food.
