Marigold-Kitchen
Posted by Foobooz on January 25th, 2013
Beginning this weekend Marigold Kitchen is doing away with a la carte ordering. From now on you can create your own tasting menus of 4, 5 or 6 courses (plus the parade of amuse bouches). The price starts at $65 per person and goes up from there. Prix fixe has been the way to go at Marigold anyway, but now it’s the only way. We’re just glad they didn’t heed Philadelphia magazine’s note that if Marigold were in New York, it would easily be $150 per head.

See that little dancing picture up there? That’s how the list of Philadelphia’s 50 Best Restaurants came to be. That’s one wall of Foobooz World HQ, covered completely with 170-odd Post-It Notes, representing every single restaurant that was in contention for a spot in the 2012 rankings. That’s what we lived with for roughly three months–a constantly shifting and evolving representation of Philadelphia’s restaurant scene to be stared at, debated, argued over, torn down, rebuilt and obsessed over until me and Art and the rest of this year’s 50 Best Restaurants crew had gone all A Beautiful Mind and saw the thing in our sleep.
How did Stateside end up at #1? Why didn’t Fette Sau or Rittenhouse Tavern make the list at all? And what were we thinking with Marigold Kitchen? There are answers to all of those questions, and it all began back in August with a deceptively complicated question:
What are your favorite restaurants in Philadelphia?

The first of the fall menus is in: Marigold Kitchen has released its latest menu, full of autumnal ingredients like sweet potatoes, beets, and more. Highlights from the menu include coffee fried sweetbreads, a Painted Hills’ filet of beef with foie gras, beets, pears, and arugula, plus zucchini donuts. The beginning of the season has us itching for the leaves (and menus) to change.
Also, as of September 1st Marigold Kitchen’s latest iteration turns three years old. Happy anniversary, Marigold!

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to give an old favorite a new chance. That was the case with Trey Popp and Marigold Kitchen. A couple of years after Erin O’Shea left for Percy Street Barbecue Popp visits the new Marigold and the avant garde cooking of Robert Halpern.
“And for all the whiz-bang textures of Halpern’s heirloom tomato salad—crisp tomato chip, soft lavender foam, jiggly squares of balsamic jelly, coconut powder—he knows when to step back and let someone else’s work shine, in this case with luscious burrata curds that were one of a small handful of things not made in-house.”

West Philadelphia’s Marigold Kitchen has rolled out its fall menu where amuse bouches have become a big part of the dinner. Expect 3 to 6Â amuse bouches/intermezzos/pre-desserts with every dinner. Recent amuses sent out include housemade watermelon or blueberry yogurt spoons, a cucumber and tapioca “soda” (a play on bubble tea), a housemade cracker infused via syringe with aged grafton cheese, cauliflower bisque with ham bubble and liquid ravioli.

Jason Evanchik has a strange trinity of establishments on his hands. First there was Vintage, a perfectly respectable wine bar he opened in Center City in 2006. Then came Time, a multi-use spot just around the corner from Vintage that features an upstairs absinthe den where events like “The Naked Party” are held and two downstairs bars: one with TVs, the other with live jazz. And, as of Friday, he’s added Bar, a two-story bar (obviously) just down from Time.
On Monday, Thrillist wrote that Bar was “so good,” adding, “For a bar that delivers what it promises, hit, uh, Bar.”
I disagree.

Craig LaBan visits the now avant-garde Marigold Kitchen where chef Robert Halpern is deconstructing and meat-gluing back together the typical idea of a meal.
Great flavor combinations abound here, like the stunningly earthy taste of the chorizo-scented broth and perfectly cooked seafood of his “New World paella,” served over a base of cauliflower (instead of rice) minced into toothy cous-cous-size bits. Or the tropical mist of bubbled banana that topped a demitasse amuse-bouche, then disappeared as a rush of intensely rich, hot butternut soup followed like a squash chaser.
