We all know the plight of golf widows. How about kitchen widows?
Chefs work such long hours, they hardly have time for their spouses.
Porter's, the Federal Hill restaurant that reopened a week ago, has solved this problem for one culinary couple.
It has two co-chefs, Peter Livolsi and Jennie Casserly. They're getting married in May.
Let's hope they like working together.
Livolsi has been chef at Petit Louis, Pazo and Three... . Casserly also worked at Three... .
I'd hoped to chat with one or both chefs today, to hear about the menu at Porter's, which closed in October. Neither one was available and the Web site doesn't post the menu yet. Owner Kevin Cooper was out, too, when I called.
Until I reach them, I'll pass along some info I received from a Dining@Large reader who lives near the Riverside Avenue restaurant.
"I haven't been there yet, but my wife walked by Saturday evening and found it packed," he writes. "Mostly adult crowd, some with kids. Menu included seared scallops, halibut and venison. Looks like a good start."
