Barclay Prime's new chef
There was a time Barclay Prime (237 S. 18th St.) was the finest steakhouse in Philadelphia. And not only fine, but interesting, different, more than typical meat and potatoes. Sometime between now and our last steak dinner there (toward the end of James LoCascio's term), things fell off, at least according to Inquirer critic Craig LaBan, who demoted BP in February to two lukewarm bells. Chef Stephen Wambach left soon after, destined for Azure at the upcoming Revel in AC, and Jeff Froehler is now in charge. The 32-year-old was born in Jersey and grew up in Miami, came back north and attended the Restaurant School. Froehler was the original sous chef at Barclay Prime when the steakhouse first debuted. Here's hoping he brings back some of that opening mojo.
