Chicken 'n' biscuits for West Philly
Don't cry for former KaP chef Jordan Miller — he's already found a new gig as the chef at Roost (4529 Springfield Ave.), a takeout chicken-and-biscuits operation coming "very, very soon."
Chicken 'n' biscuits for West Philly
Last week, we told you about the very convenient Kitchen at Penn, which closed the other day as founder Nate Adler readies for graduation. But don’t cry for former KaP chef Jordan Miller — he's already found a new gig as the chef at Roost (4529 Springfield Ave.), a takeout chicken-and-biscuits operation coming "very, very soon," according to Annie Baum-Stein, who owns Roost (as well as Milk & Honey Market around the corner) with hubby Mau Daigle.
The sitch couldn’t be more convenient for Miller, as he’ll be Southern-frying and rotisserie-roasting local, organic Bell & Evans birds in the very same kitchen as KaP. (Baum-Stein and Daigle hold the lease on the space, you see.) Local cream he curdles in-house forms the base for the flaky biscuits that come with every order. Roost will sell the clucks by the quarter, half or whole, with a vegan option on the way. For sides, think mashed potatoes, coleslaw and greens, while desserts fall into the cookie/brownie realm and come from Milk & Honey house baker Tracy McGinnis, most recently the pastry part of star-crossed Speck.

Great news in any event, but hoping they will be pan frying the chicken. Also hoping they'll be doing breakfast including country ham biscuits. Hurry up and open, please.— Holly Moore
