When I was 22
Posted by Chewy on Wednesday, October 17th, 2007
I’m all frowny face that Kitchen 22 (also it’s sister restaurant Kitchen 82) closed. Located in the Flat Iron District of Manhattan, Kitchen 22 was Chef Charlie Palmer’s cheap, yet hip, prix-fixe restaurant. For $25 you got three courses. It was an awesome concept for young people who want high-end, fresh dining, but who can’t afford most high-end restaurants.
According to a press release: “The seating capacity and the limited menu concept no longer fit the direction of growth and development of the company.”
I’m not quite sure what that means because I’m not proficient in politically correct, non-committal PR speak. But when a chef becomes a company, that makes me feel all icky inside. Like I need an adult.
