Things are starting to take shape at Cochon Butcher, the project by New Orleans chef Donald Link going into Germantown. They just hired Levon Wallace, formerly of Proof on Main in Louisville, to run it.
Wallace called his departure bittersweet, but knew he couldn’t pass up the chance to work for Link. “I’ll be the overseeing chef of the Cochon concept in Nashville while we work on other projects,” Wallace said. He lived and worked in Nashville before coming to Louisville. “Donald’s approach and his lens on Southern culture and Southern foodways is something I am definitely aligned with.”
Wallace is no stranger to Nashville. He was at
last summer's Music City Food + Wine festival.
