Erik Jackson is joining the kitchen of Brian McCracken and Dana Tough’s new venture in the former Restaurant Zoë space, and so is bailing on A Square Meal, the short-lived bi-monthly pop-up he helmed at Volunteer Park Cafe. The Monday night series took shape in late June; two more of the dinners were scheduled for August 29 and September 12.
When asked whether chef/owner Ericka Burke might host more pop-ups, a rep for the restaurant said, “Ericka loves the idea of having a pop-up at VPC on Mondays. She likes to help out fellow chefs and would totally do it again if the fit were right.”
Jackson, an alum of the Tom Douglas enterprise (Serious Pie, Dahlia Lounge, and most recently Cuoco) and of McCracken and Tough’s Spur Gastropub, had approached Burke, taking his tenure at Dog Mountain Farm in Carnation as inspiration for the locally minded pop-up.
