Buckminster’s Names a Chef

Buckminster’s, under construction in Point Breeze.

Restaurateur Michael Pasquarello (Cafe Lift, Prohibition Taproom, Bufad, Kensington Quarters) is expanding his empire with Buckminster’s at 21st and Federal Streets, and he’s got a chef. Rob Marzinsky (Pub & Kitchen, Fitler Dining Room) will be the guy when the restaurant opens this fall.

Marzinsky, who is hosting a pop-up at Little Fish for the next few days is planning a menu inspired by his recent travel throughout Asia. Pasquarello is still calling Buckminster’s “neo bistro” which he defines as refreshed bistro cuisine. We’re still not sure what that means exactly but at least he has a very talented chef to pull it off. One more point to excite Point Breeze residents, Marzinsky told us today that he’s excited to be working with Kensington Quarters butcher Heather Thomason. So good meats ahead.

Follow Marzinsky on social media (Instagram | Twitter) for a hint of what’s to come at Buckminster’s. To get a taste of what Marzinsky picked up while he was travelling, stop in for lunch at Little Fish or make reservations for his four course dinner. The pop-up runs through Sunday, August 16th.
