Chef Taylor Gates
For the past two years, Chef Taylor Gates has been learning about pizza and dough — and now the taproom at Aslin Beer Co. in Alexandria's West End is ready to serve it up.
Aslin is opening a new scratch kitchen concept this week called Knead.
Knead will feature large round pizza, individual Sicilian-style slices and sandwiches on house-made bread. Salads and sides will also be on the menu, and the popular Korean-style chicken sandwich and double-stack Smash burger will return.
Gates is from a family of chefs. The Gates family ran The Buttery restaurant and The Gate House of Lewes, in Delaware. In addition, the family competed on season 13 of Guy's Grocery Games on the Food Network, Delaware Online reported.
Knead will be operating Wednesday through Sunday at Aslin, 847 S. Pickett St., in Alexandria.
It's not the only major announcement from Aslin in recent weeks: Earlier this month, the brewery revealed it is planning to open a brewery, taproom and cafe in The Strip District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
