Leftovers: New stuff at RTM, Levin moving on, Strangelove's on the way
Michael Klein over at the Insider got a few more details out of Leigh Maida, Brendan Hartranft, and Brendan Kelly about their exciting new Center City project, moving into the much-fretted-over space at 216 S. 11th St. The new venture has been dubbed Strangelove's and will feature a draft list twenty-deep, plus a handful of bottles; they're still on the hunt for a chef. We can't wait to see what they come up with.
Eater filled us in on some changes at Square Peg (929 Walnut St.) that have chef Matt Levin leaving to work with chef Jean Marie Lacroix at Brûlée Catering. Brûlée has the same ownership and the move was apparently at Levin's behest, so hopefully this new post is a better fit.
Valley Shepherd Creamery, which we talked about just before opening, opened for business on Wednesday at the Reading Terminal Market. They're also grilling up specialty sandwiches, which you can get cooked with bacon or duck fat if you so choose, under the name Melt Kraft. And Keven Parker Soul Food Cafe (from the owner of Ms. Tootsie's) opened on the same day, serving up their awesome fried chicken and other soul food specialties in a surprisingly stylish setting given the bustling Market locale.
