10-Arts-by-Eric-Ripert

Chef Nathan Volz has been holding down the line at 10 Arts for three months now, ever since the departure of his boss and mentor, Eric Ripert. In that time, he has stuck (more or less) to the vision of 10 Arts as it stood under Ripert (and Jen Carroll), but no more.
Beginning tonight, there is a single new menu for the space which will bridge both the lounge and the main dining area, bringing the entire floor under the sway of Volz’s new “American comfort cuisine” take on the board. This means a mix of small, medium and large plates, desserts, custom cocktails and Philly classics–which, in turn, means that you can now get a cheesesteak at 10 Arts (with shaved tri-tip and shallot confit, natch), in case that’s one of those things you’ve really been waiting for.

Okay, folks. So we’re coming the end of stage one of Philadelphia Restaurant Week. For most places, Friday marks a brief respite before things pick up again on Sunday, and in celebration of that, we figured why not make a day of it tomorrow–hitting both a lunch and a dinner spot for the deals offered.
First stop? 10Arts, where chef Nathan Volz has been getting plenty of practice knocking out those plates of tagliatelle pomodoro with fresh mozzarella pictured above. He’s offering a creamy seafood chowder as one of the first-course lunch options (putting it up against a Honeycrisp apple salad), then the tagliatelle (which, when stacked up against a croque monsieur, is an easy choice), with either a carrot-hazelnut cake with carrot sauce and cream cheese sorbet or a pina colada sundae with rum gel and coconut foam as dessert.
Both of those sound weirdly compelling. Wonder what it’d cost me to double-up on dessert? And honestly, with the lunch price coming in at just $20, would it really matter?
But where should we go for dinner?

Been a big day in Eric Ripert news. First came word that he was stepping away from the Ritz-Carlton’s Westend Bistro in Washington D.C. effective January 1st. And now the Insider is reporting that Ripert is also ending his association with 10 Arts at the Ritz-Carlton here in Philly–the place that made Jen Carroll famous before that whole Top Chef thing. The reason? Some mystery restaurant in NYC affiliated with his celebrated fish palace, Le Bernardin.
For the time being, 10 Arts staff (including sous chef Nathan Volz) will continue to operate 10 Arts as 10 Arts, but what we’re wondering over here is whether a recent visit by Jose Andres (who recently began a partnership with Ritz-Carlton at their new, ultra-luxury property, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico) to the kitchens at 10 Arts while he was in Philly has anything to do with anything.
Because, seriously, losing The Ripper sucks. But trading him for Jose Andres would go a long way toward making me feel better…

If you’re into the Oscars and looking for a way to view them that doesn’t involve laying on your couch, drinking copious amounts of wine, screaming “what are you wearing?” and laughing out loud to snarky Twitter posts, several Philadelphia bars and restaurants can save you. If you aren’t looking to be saved, then by all means, carry on.

We already let you know that his Ripert-ness was going to be in Philly, bringing a little taste of Le Bernardin to 10 Arts for a few, special nights. But tonight, he isn’t going to be in the kitchen because he has a friend in town: his dark alter-ego, Anthony Bourdain.
The two of them are going to be onstage at the Merriam Theater tonight at 7:30pm, telling “fascinating, hysterical and sometimes shocking stories about their culinary experiences,” according to the PR shills. Oh, and they’re going to be taking questions from the audience as well, so if there’s ever been something you wanted desperately to know about judging Top Chef, eating warthog ass or running one of the greatest restaurants in the world, now’s your chance to get the answer.
Tickets are running between $45 and $55 and can be gotten by calling 215-893-1999, by visiting the Kimmel Center website, or at the box office tonight.

It’s been another busy week here at Foobooz World HQ. And while, to the casual observer, it may seem as though the news was dominated by nothing but Stephen Starr, Art in the Age and the sad passing of Noble American Cookery (which also involved Starr), there was plenty of other news happening as well. And on this lovely Friday afternoon, here’s the best of it, both the big and the small:
Noble Closes, Replaced By Starr’s Il Pittore It may have been the end of the road for Noble, but Starr was just getting started
Rhuby To Hit Store Shelves Next Week Which was soon followed by…
Rhuby Delayed Due to “Sediment” Release date pushed back because of ickiness
Stephen Starr Hearts South Street…Kinda It’s one of those “It’s not me, it’s you” kinds of goodbyes from Philly’s Big Cheese
Craft Beer and Donkey Kong Coming Soon at Barcade This will be the end of me
Jennifer Carroll Is Leaving 10 Arts No word yet on where she’s going, but we’re going to be pissed if we have to drive to Manhattan just to visit
Bon Appetit Names Talula’s Garden One Of Its Top 10 New Restaurants Copycats…
Sex and Candy at Le Virtu Chiles, chocolate and vague sexual innuendo from the baking department
