Yesterday it was announced that Dale Talde is now the chef at Thistle Hill Tavern in Park Slope and has appointed Kerwin Chu to run the kitchen. The new menu — including a wedge salad, a smoked pork chop known as “The Chop” with sweet and sour onions, and a “Deli Plate” of sliced meats with house pickles and toast — seems steeped in a kind of blue-collar Americana, haunted by the vinyl-tablecloth-draped ghosts of luncheonettes past. And although the Talde and Pork Slope chef has seemingly put a new school kale and chard salad on the menu, it comes adorned with both corn nuts and “slaw dressing.”
