Marrakesh Express owner resurfaces

Brahim Ighladen's Marrakesh Express (4407 Chestnut St.), which opened in the fall of 2009 and unexpectedly closed in May of this year, is back, and this time the chef is taking the "Express" part quite literally — in about two weeks, Ighladen will roll out a food truck at 40th and Locust, situated right next to the mobile Pure Fare we've been telling you about. The base menu will feature pita sandwiches — falafel, marinated vegetables, lamb (above), chicken, baked fish — and the Casablancan will also offer street-food-friendly versions of his well-liked traditional dishes, like couscous and tagines. The plan is for Marrakesh Express to operate Monday through Saturday, with Sundays left open for special events.
