Blue Hill at Stone Barns chef moving into Wash West

Here's a very promising chef get for Philly: Josh Lawler, a PA native and chef de cuisine at Dan Barber's acclaimed Blue Hill at Stone Barns, has signed on to open a restaurant at 1120 Pine Street, the former home of Paul. Lawler, a graduate of Drexel's hospitality school, started as a sous chef at the acclaimed farmstead restaurant â located less than an hour north of NYC, it's Barber's operation within the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture â in 2006, moving into a chef de cuisine role a year later. The project is in the very early stages so there's not much to share yet; we do know, though, that Lawler's targeting a March opening for the spot, which we understand will be a BYO. No word on concept/cuisine just yet, but knowing Blue Hill's reputation, we imagine Lawler will be putting a legitimate emphasis on local growers and purveyors. More soon.
