David Ansill is back, and you'll never guess where
Ladder 15 (1528 Sansom St.) has scored a major coup, signing chef David Ansill to consult on a brand-new menu until he takes over as on-site executive chef in four to six weeks. Co-owner Max Tucker confirmed Ansill's hiring today for Meal Ticket, adding that Ladder 15 will be overhauling the beer, wine and cocktail menus as well as the food.
"We're making massive changes," said Tucker. "Mixologist Zach Smith is creating an entirely new upscale cocktail list, and our draft lines will be devoted to specialty beers, especially Belgians, craft and local. We will have new craft bottles, as well."
"The new menu will be out this spring," Tucker said. "It'll be bar food with the Ansill stamp."
UPDATE: Check out Ladder 15's new beer list, available by the end of next week, after the jump.

I have a feeling that this will end badly.
Uhm, me too
Oh. Boy.
This is upsetting. But I will wash down my skepticism with a strong dose of hope.
