Speck, the long overdue restaurant at the Piazza from Shola Olunloyo, is getting closer to opening. No seriously, it really is this time. After repeated setbacks — back in October, word was an opening was at least six more weeks out — Speck is aiming for a mid-December opening, according to Flying Kite’s John Steele. In his interview with Akiko Moorman, Speck’s chef de cuisine, Steele gets to the bottom of what’s holding the restaurant back and the lengths at which Olunloyo has been going — he’s in there now putting shelves up in the kitchen himself — to get it up and running soon. We’ll continue providing updates as they develop. [Flying Kite]
