Branching Out: Quinn and Karen Hatfield Prep Second Restaurant, The Sycamore Kitchen, For Early 2012

Quinn and Karen Hatfield, the husband and wife chef duo behind the popular Hatfield's restaurant, have announced they are prepping to open a second eatery, The Sycamore Kitchen, early next year in a remodeled former print shop. The casual restaurant is being pitched as a "hip, neighborhood haven for seasonally-focused fare and sweet and savory rustic pastries."The Sycamore Kitchen will be open all day long, and will ensure that locals will have a place to go for tasty pastries and coffee no matter the hour, along with house-made roasted meats, pickled veggies, and of course, freshly-baked breads and other goodies. Just the sample baked goods name-dropped in the email about the new venture will make mouths water: chocolate babka muffins, salted caramel pecan rolls, brown butter and sour cherry scones and lemon polenta cake.
They'll serve brunch, lunch, dinner, and to-go items during their 8 a.m. to 8 p.m hours.
