The husband-and-wife team behind Kinship Butcher & Sundry, Myles Moody and Rachael Pack, are gearing up to open a 50-seat wine-forward restaurant, So. Fox, this spring at 1017 N Highland Ave. NE. Farm Burgers shuttered their restaurant at the location at the end of 2025.
“This main corner lot has been serving the Virginia-Highland community in a variety of ways for 100 years,” building owner Lynn Dewitt said in a release. “It was originally a Standard Oil filling station and then expanded with Herrington Service Station for decades. Eventually, the building was converted to become a popular restaurant destination while still maintaining its historic architectural charm.”
So. Fox, expected to open in spring 2026, is short for Southern Fox — a reference to the colloquial name for American indigenous grape varietal, the Muscadine or Scuppernong. It will highlight a natural wine program spearheaded by Pack, alongside a hyper-seasonal, à la carte food menu courtesy of Moody. It will focus on proteins and locally-sourced produce, reflecting the same dedication to regional ingredients that they exhibit at Kinship.
Both Moody and Pack have experience in fine-dining. They both worked at Brooklyn’s two-Michelin-starred Aska, and Moody also worked at Blue Hill at Stone Barn and Eleven Madison Park. This experience has woven into their 12-course tasting experience pop-up k|n.
They also operate farmers-market-driven grocery store and butcher counter Kinship Butcher & Sundry — next door to the forthcoming So. Fox — and have plans to expand the Kinship concept to Grant Park later this year.
