Kennett coming to Queen Village
Filed Under: Openings
The old Lyons Den at 848 S. Second is getting a makeover from Johnny Della Polla (an industry vet who most recently ran the tasting room at Yards), former Starr FOH-er Ashley Bohan and chef Brian Ricci. Kennett, as the neighborhood-friendly restaurant will be called, is looking to open in November. Since the principles are seeking certification from the Green Restaurant Association — which holds establishments to high environmental standards in regards to energy/water usage, recycling, etc. — they won't be changing the interior dramatically, but plan on repurposing furniture, adding seating and otherwise sprucing the spot up to give it a bit of new life.
Ricci's shared a handful of his proposed menu items for the spot, which you can check out after the jump.
Small plates:
- beets and feta with red wine vinegar, olive oil, basil, parsley and chive
- roasted chickpeas with smoked paprika, olive oil and sea salt
- heirloom tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, basic, balsamic and cracked pepper
- avocado salad with lime juice, chiles, cilantro and cumin
- new potatoes with preserved lemon and mixed herbs
- hummus with zatar bread, roasted peppers and artichokes
- Prosciutto
- Pork terrine
- salumi
- Country pate, mustard, cornichon and toast
- Aged cheddar, goat cheese, fresh mozzarella and toast
- There will also be Charcuterie and Cheeses that will include:
- Lamb burger with smoked paprika, cucumber and yogurt
- Beef burger with lettuce, tomato and anchovy mayonnaise
- Veggie burger made with lentils, wheatberries and tomato relish
- Salmon prepared with olive oil, lemon and sea salt
- Chicken with brown butter, herbs and mustard
- Farmer's plate with roasted squash and sage, turnips and brussel sprouts
- Margherita with tomato, basil and mozzarella
- White with house-made ricotta, late summer squash and sweet onions
- House pie with prosciutto, fig and goat cheese
I'm pretty sure that's what the locals called the former spot.
Thoughtful and interesting, thank you. I grew up in manilla but moved to england at such a young age I can hardly remember anything apart from the delicious food. I finally found some authentic Filipino recipes if you want to have a look, I thought I'd share it with you!
I thought it was called "The Carwash Cafe"?
Hey Kelly, they're saying late November as of now.
I'll have the roasted chickpeas and avocado salad and then flip my debit card between the veggie burger and farmer's plate. Early or late November?
