Another One Bites The Dust: Matt Zagorski Out At Hickory Lane

Posted by Jason Sheehan on February 21st, 2013

And the hits just keep on coming…

The Insider is reporting that chef Matt Zagorski has jumped ship, leaving his exec chef spot at Hickory Lane in Fairmount for a gig with GuestCounts Hospitality–the folks behind Cuba Libre, Brulee Catering, Gourmetro (also catering) and Square Peg.

Hey, wait a minute… Didn’t Square Peg also lose a chef recently? It did! That’s the post recently vacated by chef Matt Levin (who made a lateral transition and is now working at Brulee Catering), so is Zagorski headed for Square Peg to take over Levin’s old house?

Not according to the GuestCounts team. Though (weirdly) no one there could tell me what job Zagorski had actually been hired for, they did insist that he wasn’t going to be taking over the kitchen at Square Peg.

As soon as we know what job the new Matt will be doing, we’ll let you know. Stay tuned.

Looks like Matt Levin and Square Peg have parted way. We’ve been hearing rumblings for weeks that the chef and Square Peg were splitting and according to Eater, this weekend was the last for the chef at Square Peg.

Levin, once a critical darling was soundly bashed for his food at Square Peg, not that service helped him out.

No word yet on what is next for the chef or for Square Peg, which has been ramping up the events (quizzo, game nights, DJs on weekends) to keep the bi-level spot busy.
