With all the madness of the Thundersnow and the freezing cold weather, most of our posts have been spent dealing with which places have decided to brave the weather and stay open. So we suppose the news that John Manion is leaving Branch 27 means that we are getting back to normal. The Feast reports that Manion decided to move on to open his own place, which will focus on more on Latin flavors. This all makes sense considering he grew up in Brazil. Manion had been at the Noble Square restaurant for a little over a year, and no immediate replacement has been announced. He’ll be leaving officially in mid-February. [The Feast]
