Chef Lata's Back to Work on The Ordinary

After catering Blake Lively's wedding and fishing with a crew of Charleston's best chefs, FIG chef Mike Lata has seemingly turned his focus back to his anticipated-but-delayed project The Ordinary. Charleston-based architect David Thompson tweeted the above picture of a meeting held inside The Ordinary, with a simple caption: "Progress." Thompson, the designer behind FIG and Kevin Johnson's The Grocery, also name-checked kitchen consultants Next Step Design and Chef Lata in the tweet. If the team is still poring over blueprints, it's possible Lata was giving a conservative estimate when he said The Ordinary might not open until January.
