Chef Shuffle

Blackbird Gets a New Chef de Cuisine

Congrats to David Posey

With all the odd chef shuffles over the past month, it’s nice to see one go perfectly to plan. David Posey has just been appointed as Blackbird’s new Chef de Cuisine. He’s taking the position from Mike Sheerin, who was just named one of Food & Wine’s Ten Best New Chefs back in April. Luckily, there are no hard feelings here. Sheerin is moving on to “pursue his own project,” which if other Blackbird chefs are any indication, will be awesome (especially if tacos are involved). He’ll also be staying on at Blackbird for the time being, acting as the Private Dining Chef. Posey started at Blackbird last year, having come from working with Grant Achtaz at Alinea. [RIA via TOC]
