Fat Radish Team No Longer Considering 22 Orchard Street

Word on the street these days is that the Fat Radish empire will remain a trendy twosome with Leadbelly just across the way. A Boogie birdie has it on good authority that Benjamin Towill and Philip Winser recently nixed plans for a third restaurant at 22 Orchard Street.
It was here that the crew was to launch Two Good Traders, a decent sized concept featuring “Thai street food.” The coporate entity, Silkstone, was up for a wine and beer license back in September, but withdrew the application at the last minute. Those lofty dreams are now on the bedroom floor, so to speak. Leasing signs continue their storefront reign.
Probably a smart move. Seems each additional eatery just cannibalizes their own business…
