Earlier today a shadowy tweeter dropped the bombshell that former Buddakan chef Scott Swiderski, who landed at The Corner following his departure from the Starr fleet (and a brief stint at City Tap House), would no longer be the top toque at the still newish Midtown Village spot. Grub Street just learned from a spokesperson for the restaurant that the rumor is indeed true, and that Swiderski was lured away by a “great offer from the corporate world.” Sous chef John “Chainsaw” Taus is stepping up to command the kitchen.
