Um. What's Michael Schulson doing?

Based on a  tour this afternoon, construction of Michael Schulson's pan-Asian restaurant, Sampan, is progressing nicely at 122 S. 13th St., just off Sansom.

He's expecting work to finish on Nov. 25, and an opening closer to Dec. 15.

Among the wows will be color-changing graphic walls on both sides, as well as an exhibition kitchen with counter seating.

The kitchen is just about done, and the rear storage area out back is being framed out (there will be an outdoor bar out there in the spring).

While touring the kitchen, I noticed a curious piece of equipment usually not found in an upmarket restaurant.

Click through to the second photo for the explanation.
