Rotisseur coming to 21st/Chestnut

Bet on early January for the debut of Rottiseur, a (you guessed it) rotisserie-focused casual restaurant on the 100 block of S. 21st Street, near Slate and Caffeination. Partners Aaron Matzkin and Dean Kitagawa are longtime friends; Kitagawa's a FOH veteran of a million and one local restaurants (Felicia's, Susanna Foo, Friday Saturday Sunday, Blue Angel, etc.) and more recently ran a green waste management company servicing the hospitality industry. The partners plan on starting off conservatively, roasting chickens in a high-tech French rotisserie oven, then eventually moving into more exotic eats (quail, goose, pork belly, sausages). They'll offer platters, with, say a quarter or a half chicken, plus a number of hot and cold sides. No liquor; order-at-counter service. Roughly 25 seats inside.
