EaterWire: Scott Bryan Out at Lever House

MIDTOWN EAST— Remember last week when the owners of Lever House sent word that they found a new chef in Scott Bryan? They happily reported that he signed the deal and will "start in a few weeks." Psych! Though Scott Bryan accepted the job and even trailed in the kitchen, he got cold feet and quit on Saturday. Owner John McDonald says Bryan wants to be an owner again, not a hired chef. Bryan is unsure of what he wants to do with his career and is looking into a possible deal in DC where he would have an ownership stake in the restaurant. We're guessing the new place could be 2941, the Virginia restaurant where he was a guest chef last fall. As for Lever House, they're out two chefs in one month.
