What can Peter Dunmire, David Katz, Matt Ball and Joe Hunt all claim? The title of chef at Silk City (Fifth and Spring Garden) in its seven months under owner Mark Bee.
Dunmire, who's been with Bee for some time at Bee's other place, N3rd, created the menu for the June opening. Dunmire returned to N3rd in September, when Katz took over. But Katz's tenure turned out to be two stormy weeks, so Dunmire jumped back in. Ball, who signed on Oct. 1, was freed to seek new employment last Thursday (1/10), Bee confirms. "Didn't work out," Bee says.
For now, sous chef Vinnie DeSisto -- who's worked with Dunmire at N3rd since Day One -- is running Silk City's kitchen.
Hunt, whose resume includes Bluezette and Jones and who turns out a mean mac and cheese, starts Feb. 1.
