Katie O'Donnell OUT, Ryan Bartlow IN at Frankies 570

A few months ago, Katie O'Donnell left Esca to work as the chef at Frankies 570 in the West Village. Now reps confirm that O'Donnell has left the restaurant, and that opening chef Ryan Bartlow is back in the kitchen. Bartlow has been working at sister establishment Francesca on the Lower East Side, and now he'll be overseeing both kitchens with the help of proprietors Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli. No word yet on where O'Donnell is headed next, but apparently the split was amicable. Also, Andrew Kesselring, who worked as the GM the original Frankies in Brooklyn, is now at the West Village restaurant.
