••• Bill Telepan on what we can expect at Telepan Local, opening this fall on Greenwich: “A take on pan con tomate but Americanized with a grilled cheese. We make a sort of a cross between a hotdog and kielbasa that we may make into a pigs in a blanket or a corndog. And these little crispy thingies that are like potato chips, fried onions and fried pig skins sort of mixed together. We’re going to have a lot of vegetables—eight to ten offerings of vegetables—and some fun American things, like a take on a crab cake. We have a shrimp popper that’s take on a jalapeño popper. We get a lot of great chicken in, so we’re gonna do a whole breast in the oven and the rest will be used for fried chicken for brunch.” —Serious Eats
