Liebrandt to Launch 'The Little Elm' Later This Month

Paul Liebrandt will start serving guests at The Elm's eight-seat chef's counter later this month. Liebrandt has not yet determined the price and the number of courses, but the chef tells Grub Street: "[T]he tasting menu will be more gastro, and with these eight seats, I almost want to do more like a kaiseki but with a French tête-à-tête, meaning two flavors, the beauty of two ingredients, in each dish." The chef also explains that he and his partners at King & Grove are "doing a lot of different restaurants and projects, more than one." Liebrandt notes: "The Elm is a gateway. Honestly, I wanted to do a restaurant that would reach a clientele that would never, ever have come to Corton."
