We snapped this shot of the now under construction Kermit’s Bake Shoppe on Washington Avenue yesterday morning. We also reached out to owner Adam Ritter (Sidecar Bar, Kraftwork) for a status check. He tells us that test batches will start this week and they are thinking they’re about a month away from opening the pizzeria + bakery.

We wound up catching the American Sardine Bar commercial several times over the weekend. The 30-second spot features Mr. Bait Fish at the Point Breeze bar being lored in by an attractive female. The commercial was shot and produced by First Capital Pictures, a local outfit headquartered in Old City.

Now the video is out on the web, so check it out.

Sidecar’s Adam Ritter Plans a Washington Ave Pizzeria & Bake Shop

Posted by Foobooz on February 12th, 2013

We chatted with Adam Ritter of the Sidecar and Kraftwork about his newest project, Kermit’s Bake Shop. The bake shop (it’s like a bakery and pizzeria had a baby) is planning on opening in a couple of months at 22nd and Washington. The spot will offer pizza to-go and for delivery. This won’t be a brick oven type pizzeria, those thin pies just wouldn’t travel well. Instead here it will be traditional American pizzas (not cute) along with seasonal soups and salads.

On the bakery side, local pastry chef and Next Great Baker contestant Chad Durkin will be the baker. Ritter tells us to imagine a “bakery Americano.” Sticky buns, cakes, cookies and fresh-baked bread. Ritter imagines customers will be able to make it a one stop shop for a birthday party. A couple of pizzas, some soup and salad and of course the birthday cake.

Annotated Menu: Scott Schroeder at American Sardine Bar

Posted by Jason Sheehan on February 5th, 2013

According to chef Scott Schroeder, there are two reasons why his Point Breeze joint, American Sardine Bar, became the place it is. First, because he didn’t think the world needed another gastropub (especially one so close to the gastropub he already runs, South Philly Tap Room). And second, because he felt confident that “people will go into bad neighborhoods for a good sandwich.” Here’s what he’s using as bait.

American Sardine Bar Filmed a Commercial

Posted by Foobooz on January 7th, 2013

First Capital Pictures, the company that has given us a Kenzinger commercial as well as Philly Beer Week spots, is back with American Sardine Bar’s first ad. Only stills exist so far but we can tell one thing, it’s going to be weird.

Look for the commercial later this month.
