Chef Amanda Cohen Doesn’t Want You to Be Intimidated by Dirt Candy Availability

The first week at the Dirt Candy reboot on Allen Street was apparently bonkers. Everyone clamoring for a taste of the veggie cuisine.
However, in an email blast to its base, chef Amanda Cohen seems nervous that reports of reservations being booked through the end of the month might deter would-be fans from the new location. “While reservations are tight,” she writes, “They are nowhere near impossible.”
She goes on to say that, “The reality is that I’ve kept some tables off the books because I don’t want to overwhelm the kitchen while we’re finding our feet. Don’t be intimidated by reports that it’s hard to get a reservation.”
Apparently there are an additional dozen seats that won’t be available at the counter until a sneeze guard is installed. Probably in two weeks. You know, regulations and all.
