Chef Eric LeVine, known from Food Network's "Chopped," is expanding his culinary empire with two new Brooklyn restaurants, Blackbird and Evolution, at the 42 Hotel in Williamsburg. Blackbird offers a casual gastropub experience with unique dishes like onion soup served in a roasted onion. Evolution aims to provide a high-end dining experience inspired by LeVine's Brooklyn childhood memories, with a rotating menu that features local favorites in an elevated form. His partner, Deborah Gutheil, helps manage the operations, marking a significant new chapter in LeVine's culinary journey.
LeVine embraces a role expansion with his new Brooklyn restaurants, saying, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just expanding like anybody else who wants to do more."
Blackbird, the gastropub lounge, plays up classic dishes in creative presentations, such as an onion soup served in a roasted onion, showcasing LeVineâs playful approach.
His new restaurant Evolution invites nostalgia, with a monthly rotating menu inspired by local Brooklyn favorites, merging childhood memories with elevated dining experiences.
