Ordinarie Verified listing

The Ordinarie’s brunch (and regular) menu reflects some changes you might have noticed. This is due to the return (as a consultant) of former head chef Chelsea Arrizon (formerly McNeill) and the departure of the space’s former chef, the heady and talented Nick DiEugenio. And while the space has hosted some stellar chefs across the year—DiEugenio or Chef Shelbi Ulm, the woman who created their stellar Just Your Ordinarie Burger back in 2022—the subtle changes have been a welcome return in a hospitality world facing one of its toughest years yet.

And yes, that menu includes the city’s best biscuit and gravy.

“It really is about returning to The Ordinarie’s original concept: a hospitable, approachable pub,” said owner Christy Caldwell. “It’s about a return to roots as a restaurant, as a team, and for myself, as an owner.”
