Damn: American Blackboard is off

POSTED: Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 4:38 PM

Filed Under: Food News

Tim McGinnis just checked in to let us know that American Blackboard, the South Street restaurant he previewed along with his brother Jason Roberts back in October, will not be happening after all. He alludes to a philosophical difference in direction between he/his brother and the owners of the space (1516 South St.), the principles of what was formerly known as Philly Kitchen Share. Guess we're going to have to wait awhile to try this venison stew he shot us a pic of awhile back. Damn! "I'm simply planning on leading a more peaceful existence," McGinnis has to say in regards to his immediate plans.

What's going to happen to American Meats & Provisions?  Does this mean they're going away too?  Those sandwiches were killer.
