The Philadelphia Business Journal is reporting that chef Eli Kulp of High Street Hospitality Group (Fork, High Street on Market, a.kitchen) “sustained serious injuries” in yesterday’s derailment of Amtrak train 188. According to Fran Hilario of the PBJ, the severity of his injuries have not been disclosed.

Kulp, who moved to Philadelphia from New York in 2012 to take over Ellen Yin’s Fork, has won several accolades since; including Best New Chef by Food & Wine, while Bon Appetit named High Street on Market the second best new restaurant in America.

Kulp and Yin announced in March that they were opening a High Street on Market location in New York.
