BREAKING: Chef Matthew Levin out at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse
posted by Drew Lazor
Lacroix assistant manager Alexandra Townsend just confimed that executive chef Matthew Levin has left the Rittenhouse Hotel restaurant. “He has no confirmed new location,” says Townsend, who did not comment on the reason for Levin’s departure. “He is not going to another restaurant or hotel.” Word has it that Levin will being pursuing his own project — most likely in Philadelphia. A replacement has yet to be named; Townsend would not confirm or deny a rumor from our source that chef de cuisine Jason Cichonski would be stepping into the exec role.
Levin joined the Lacroix kitchen in 2006, bringing a majorly modern edge to legendary chef Jean-Marie Lacroix’s restaurant.
UPDATE [4:55 p.m.]: Michael Klein of The Insider has info on Levin’s plans.
