New chef at Oyster House, again

POSTED: Thursday, January 6, 2011, 8:21 PM

Filed Under: Chef Salad

Chef Ted Manko, who started at Oyster House (1516 Sansom St.) in the fall of '09 and steered the shuckerie toward its top-10 Philly Mag ranking, is no longer with Center City restaurant, a rep confirms. OH's new chef is Andy Kitko, who was last at Cedar in Northwest D.C. Before then he was saucier at Café Boulud and sous chef at the seafood restaurant Aqua in San Fran.

I hope this means the food will improve at OH.  I love going in for the raw oysters, clams and a cocktail, but have found the rest of the menu to be disappointing every time.

Also, Skint:

Did you look into the future and see that the Oyster Queen would leave a comment?
