"In-house nose-to-tail butchery, fermentation and sourdough baking feature in dishes like pickled mussels, smoked tilefish rillettes, and pork and beans with pickled rapini relish."
"...While the world seemed to stand still, I was slowly building a restaurant with my own hands..."
"Everything from their creamy seafood chowder to their incredible vegan hot buns will make you feel like you're dining at a mountain lodge run by Julia Child..."
"Lee is planning a menu of "New York Mediterannean" style cuisine, meaning Mediterranean dishes made with ingredients from local farms, fishmongers, and butchers."
"A "vinly hour" kicks off the afternoon with tunes, snacks, and drinks, before the restaurant, transitions to its dinner menu of contemporary American plates, most of which are available for takeout."
"Pickling, butchering, and sourdough bread making will all happen in-house at the new Dean Street restaurant..."
"A Brooklyn man is not letting the pandemic stop him from opening his restaurant... Randi Lee says it is a lifelong dream but has been a challenge because of the coronavirus pandemic."
Owner Randi Lee named his first independent restaurant after his great-uncle Leland Chin who settled his family in Oregon in the 1930s. Leland made a great success of his Portland restaurant Chin's Kitchen, building strong community through food, culture and storytelling. Leland Eating and Drinking House continues the family tradition of convivial hospitality providing a gathering place where neighbors can relax, unwind and be well-fed.
Leland's New York Mediterranean cuisine is local and natural featuring in-house curing along with the preservation of local food and beverage. We pickle veggies, dry-age meats, and bake bread right in our kitchen. We buy fresh and make exactly what we need, with as little waste as possible. Our food aims to highlight the quality of organic, local ingredients while providing dishes that make you feel like home.
We use traditional techniques, artisanal spirits and house fermentation to create unique beverage choices. Our wines and spirits are sourced from small producers practicing sustainability. The natural wine list features some of the best producers of organic, biodynamic and wineries. We also support local breweries, cider houses and roasters of New York and Brooklyn to create a unique line up of beverages.
