Aksum Axes Summer Menu
West Philly's Aksum lands chef Wayne Whiteside and rolls out a new fall menu.
Aksum Axes Summer Menu
If you've ever wondered about Aksum, the attractively low-slung cafe lounging across the 4600 block of Baltimore Avenue, you're not alone. This Mediterranean kitchen has been veiled in hookah smoke mystery since opening in summer 2011, but it seems for the past year they've locked down a legit chef. He's Mr. Whiteside, Wayne Whiteside, that is, a veteran of Fork and previously, an unfortunately named place on South Street called Cheflu. We can't imagine why that's not still open. Anyway, Whiteside has scrapped his summer menus for heartier, fall-y business like gingery braised lamb shank, mushroom bisque and pumpkin pancakes. Visit on a Tuesday, when hookahs are half-price when you order an entree.
