Circa 1886's Matthew Pleasants IN at Kitchen 208

The former executive sous chef of downtown's Circa 1886 Matthew Pleasants will be the chef and manager at the forthcoming King Street breakfast and lunch spot Kitchen 208. According to a Facebook update by Circa 1886's executive chef Marc Collins, the two are collaborating on the menu for the new restaurant. The post, which was also a call out to nominate Pleasants for Eater's own Young Gun awards, noted the 26-year-old chef also worked at Chicago's Graham Elliot and was named Best Chef in Winston-Salem.

An employee at Charming Inns, the company that operates both establishments and the Wentworth Mansion, said Kitchen 208 is aiming to open this April.
