Chef change at Interstate Draft House
Fishtown's Interstate Draft House (1235 E. Palmer St.) has barely broken in the barstools and there’s already been a chef change. As of three weeks ago, Julio Rivera, who’s worked with Interstate owners Bob and Brandon Bitros since they owned Azure in NoLibs, is out, and Adam Scott is in. Scott, a 35-year-old Buxco native, comes most recently from Supper and has also cooked at Hawthornes and the Doylestown Country Club. He’s already making changes.
"It was very Spanish-oriented," Scott says of the menu he inherited, "but Brandon and Bob's vision from the get-go was a Southwestern/Southern/Creole kind of mix.” That concept will play out on more and more on upcoming rewrites; he’s already added jambalaya and po'boys, and “as we evolve, we're going to try to refine ourselves and bring in a lot more technique.” Which is not to say Interstate Draft House is going to shit-can the nachos and buy an immersion circulator. "We want to do upscale pub food without going full-on gastropub."
Translate that how you will, but know that Scott promises the prices will pretty much stay the same. See how he's doing so far in this week’s issue, when we review IDH.
