It’s frogtown now

Last spring, trendy Los Angeles restaurant Horses was beset by one of the stranger, nastier scandals in recent memory. The fallout made it all the way to NYC, where the opening of a sister restaurant (in the former Chumley’s space and reportedly named Froggy’s) was delayed — seemingly indefinitely. Then, last week, chef/owner Liz Johnson dropped a 12-minute video which included the revelation that the new restaurant, now known as Frog Club, was open to the public.

Frog Club is not yet findable on Resy, and its website (above) directs interested diners to email a request for a reservation. But today, the door is peeking open. Here, two reports from FOUND operatives who separately gained entry for dinner at what is sure to be the season’s most talked-about restaurant opening — and toughest table.
