Scott Bryan’s done it again! In much the same way that he jilted 10 Downing Street, Scott Bryan, who signed on as chef at Lever House earlier this month, has changed his mind and quit before he began. "There's no hard feelings, but I'm glad we found out now. He was supposed to have started this week," says owner John McDonald. According to McDonald, Bryan was offered a position, or is anticipating an offer, from a restaurant near Washington, D.C., that may involve ownership. Chefs, prepare your résumés. Lever House is hiring again.
Scott Bryan, one of the city's most widely admired chefs, has been hired as the chef at Lever House, succeeding Dan Silverman, says owner John McDonald. “He will start in a few weeks and will introduce his new menu about six weeks or so,” McDonald says. Questions about Bryan’s future, raised often since he left Veritas in October 2007, can now be put to rest.
