Tonight: PA Restaurants for Fair Competition and PLCB's Joe Conti, in the same room
Jason Evenchik, who owns Vintage and Time with wife Delphine, just checked in to let Meal Ticket know that he and several other area restaurant owners, including George Anni (Valanni, Varga Bar), Fergus Carey (Fergie's, Monk's, etc.), Jon Myerow (Tria) and Olivier Desaintmartin (Caribou Caf�, Zinc), will be attending this evening's Washington Square West Civic Association zoning meeting. The restaurateurs, who belong to PA Restaurants for Fair Competition, plan on speaking their minds directly to Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board CEO Joe Conti, who will be attending the meeting to discuss the PLCB's partnership with chef Jose Garces for a rare/boutique wine "cellar" in his forthcoming Garces Trading Company (more on that project here).
PA-RFC feels that it is unequitable for the PLCB to join forces with specific restaurant owners, as it grants unfair advantages to the partners the Board hand-selects to sell products that are not generally accessible to other consumers and restaurant owners. The collective's stance is more fully fleshed out on its Web site.
The meeting, which is open to the public, is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Room 208 of the Dorrance Hamilton Building (Locust between 11th and 12th).
