Back in February, it was announced that August’s chef Terrence Gallivan was leaving to be chef at Chris Cannon’s Alto. Now the folks over at August tell us that Jordan Frosolone quietly took over a few weeks ago. Frosolone cut his teeth at a trio of acclaimed Chicago restaurants (Coco Pazzo, Blackbird, and Nomi) and then spent several years with Marco Canora; we predicted great things for him after he became chef de cuisine at Hearth in 2007. As he did at Hearth, he’ll have access to a wood-fired oven here. And beverage director Christian Post will have access to hard liquor! (The restaurant upgraded its license from beer and wine in April.) Here’s a look at the new dinner menu — brunch will include a choice of Alsatian, Roman, or Andalusian baked eggs, plus challah bread French toast with strawberry compote and toasted almonds.
