Corner Foodery in Pictures (and the Menu Too)

Posted by Foobooz on February 7th, 2013

The Corner Foodery opened today at 1710 Sansom Street. Tony Rim was behind the counter and John Taus was in the kitchen when we stopped by to take a look and lunch on a porchetta sandwich. Like all the Foodery locations, beer is a big part of the operation with coolers galore lining one wall. At the back of Corner Foodery is a deli counter where customers can order a sandwich for eat-in or takeout. There are also six beers available on tap for those staying. The other half of the building is a restaurant filled with two-tops, booths and a communal table. Overall 40 people can sit comfortably in the restaurant side.

The menu is made up of charcuterie and specialty sandwiches plus sides. Hours will have the business open to 10 p.m. weekdays and later on weekends.

Pssst, Corner Foodery Is Now Open

Posted by Foobooz on February 6th, 2013

The long awaited Corner Foodery is finally opening its doors on the morning of Thursday, February 7th at 1710-12 Sansom Street. The collaboration brings together Tony Rim (The Corner, Raw), The Corner chef John Taus and the Foodery’s vast beer selection.

This afternoon we spotted workers stocking the beer shelves and arranging glassware. Like the other Foodery locations, Corner Foodery will have row upon row of beer by the bottle. Unlike the Corner, this location will not be on a corner. Expect charcuterie and sandwiches to dominate the food side of things. The space also features extensive seating, fun video-game inspired paintings and a very welcoming vibe. We could totally see a Foobooz satellite office sprouting at one of the tables.

And a prediction, this becomes the most confused name since ~~Whiskey Village~~ Village Whiskey.

New Fall Menu Arrives at The Corner

Posted by Maegan Cadet on October 15th, 2012

It’s a sure sign that fall has arrived when restaurants release revamped menus for our eating delight. More often than not, however, these menus seem to revolve around the over-glorified pumpkin spice. Thankfully, The Corner has defied this trend with its recent menu additions.

Staying true to American Cuisine, chef John Taus has provided a home-inspired, seasonally appropriate menu, sans the pumpkin. Old favorites like Tuesday’s Chicken Pot Pie return and are joined by a Saturday special of Roasted Lamb Leg served with fennel potato gratin, mint gremolata, and golden raisins.

The Corner and Foodery Form Voltron, Offer Beer, Cured Meats for Center City

Posted by Foobooz on September 13th, 2012

Tucked inside HughE Dillon’s roundup of Feastival is this nugget:

Tony [Rim] are just about a month away from opening their new project, the Corner Foodery at 1710 Sansom Street. They’ll carry over 800 gourmet beers from around the country and serve simple sandwiches with cured meats by Corner chef John Taus.

This collaboration was first mentioned back in May of 2007 but no one has been talking about it since. We’re intrigued to say the least and imagine our lunch hours will soon be taken up by staring at the rows of beers wooing us from their coolers.

July 30th marks the 4th annual Pork Dinner at Meme with a few changes. Instead of delivering the multi-chef party to two seatings of 30 for the night, Meme is going to do only one seating of 30 to make the party a bit more intimate.

Chefs attending include: Nick Macri, David Katz, Michael Solomonov, Jennifer Carroll, Terence Feury, Peter Woolsey, Monica Glass, John Taus, and Michael Madrigale of Sommelier Bar Boulud & Boulud Sud in NYC.

Drew Lazor Covers James Beard Dinner at the Inquirer

Posted by Aubrey Nagle on June 22nd, 2012

Drew Lazor, former editor of CityPaper’s Meal Ticket blog, has moved on to bigger and better things. In a piece for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Lazor covered a pig dinner at the James Beard House in New York City featuring Philly’s top chefs.

The Philadelphia Pork Show featured Terence Feury of Fork, Michael Solomonov of Zahav, Peter Woolsey of Bistrot La Minetter, John Taus of The Corner, David Katz of Meme, and Jen Carroll. For $170 patrons got a peek at these chefs working together to create a pork feast much like those they do here at home. All six chefs cranked out a meal and managed to entertain the crowd and each other to boot.

Be sure to check out Drew Lazor’s great coverage of the event. Who knows where Drew will pop up next (though if we were betting, we’d say American Sardine Bar).

Menu For The 2012 Chef Invitational Duck Dinner at Bistrot La Minette

Posted by Jason Sheehan on March 26th, 2012

See that picture? That’s some of the best chefs in the city of Philadelphia acting the way chefs do when they either have a couple of bottles in them, or have all gotten together for some kind of diversion that only they truly understand and appreciate.

When it is the former, pictures don’t generally make their way out to the press. (Also, there’s usually at least one person not wearing any pants.) In the case of the latter, what comes of such gatherings is often funny stories, lots of good will and a killer dinner served to select members of the public smart enough to know a good thing coming when they see it.

In this case, what the above snap (of last year’s team) is celebrating is the 2012 version of the Bistrot La Minette collaborative duck dinner–a “Chef Invitational” being held on April 3rd at the aforementioned Bistrot, where 7 great chefs (plus one great sommelier) will gather to cook a dinner where every course focuses on duck.

But before you get to thinking that this is just another silly special event dinner (of the sort that seem to be popping up every other weekend these days), you’ve got to check out the menu. And of course, Foobooz can provide…

The Corner’s Happy Hour

Posted by Foobooz on March 1st, 2012

Someone recently commented on Foobooz that The Corner on 13th Street deserved more buzz and we couldn’t agree more. The fried jalapeño cream cheese balls, the popcorn crusted shrimp (pictured), the lobster pot pie and bacon wrapped pork tenderloin all are reasons to stop in to sample John Taus’ cooking. The happy hour deals from 5 to 7 p.m. are another reason.
