University

Kitchen Opens Feb. 1

Posted by Foobooz on January 11th, 2011

Kitchen is a new restaurant/catering service located in West Philadelphia, that aims to open on February 1st. It’s pick-up and delivery only, meaning there’s no dine-in option.

Utilizing locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, the endeavor aims to provide healthy and affordable “home-cooked” meals for the University City community.

Including tax and delivery, items will be priced at $15 or less. Among the highlights of chef Jordan Miller’s menu:

  • Chicken Pot Pie made with fresh vegetables, roasted butternut squash, chicken and a biscuit crust
  • Vegetable Lasagna, crafted with pasta, ricotta and market vegetables
  • West Philly Bahn Mi, a Vietnamese-style hoagie with a choice of beef or pork meatballs marinated in a sweet chili glaze with pickled daikon radish, cucumbers and carrots, cilantro and sriracha aioli on a baguette.
  • A list of prepared sides including  tater-tots with seasonal dipping sauce and an array of prepared vegetables
  • A selection of bread puddings, Chef Miller’s specialty, including both doughnut and banana flavors.

MidAtlantic Misses

Posted by Foobooz on February 16th, 2010

Craig LaBan only wishes he could like MidAtlantic the restaurant as much as he likes MidAtlantic the concept. But too many gaffes leave that as an impossibility.

But rarely have I seen such a fantastic idea stumble critically across the finish line over a needless array of elemental cooking gaffes, from a recurring salt problem to sloppy plating and dishes that taste like concepts still in the works.

What is the point of making such tasty beef hot dogs, coarse-ground and aromatic with fennel and clove, if they’re so awkward to eat? Mine were buried under a mountain of potato chips, pickles, and wads of fermented cabbage so messy, it looked as if it had been plated by a bucket, not a chef.
