More good news from the soon-to-open Memphis Taproom — aka the coolest restaurant we've heard of in a while.

They've hired a new chef, Jesse Kimball, formerly of Lacroix:

Prior to LaCroix, Jesse spent two years mastering New American cuisine at Matyson, the popular 19th Street BYOB. Jesse got his Philadelphia start as an apprentice to Food and Wine’s Best New Chef 2004, Dominic Filoni at Bianca, in Bryn Mawr. He received a culinary degree and the Best Young Culinary award from the Art Institute in Philadelphia.
