Eastern Market’s Gather Reveals New Menu, Relaunch Date

Just weeks after an abrupt staff shakeup last month, Gather is gearing up to relaunch with a new menu that focuses on seasonality. Metro Times reports that the Eastern Market eatery will officially reopen on Friday.

Following the departure of Gather’s opening chef Nate Vogeli, co-owners Kyle and Lea Hunt shuttered temporarily and brought on chef Jessi Patuano to rework the eatery’s offerings. She’s been testing out new recipes over the past weeks and on Monday the 34-seat restaurant began serving her dishes to diners for a series of soft openings.

Patuano — a Long Island, NY native who learned the ropes in the kitchen in such celebrated restaurants as the Root in White Lake and the shuttered Torino in Ferndale — has been working for the past few years to cultivate close relationships with local farms.

Among the offerings, house-made jams with local cheeses, a savory meat pie with chorizo, fire roasted baby carrots, confit sweet potatoes and other dishes sourced from local purveyors.
