Mike Isabella Hitting Sbraga for One Night Only

POSTED: Friday, September 7, 2012, 10:25 AM

Heads up, Top Chef fans: Kevin Sbraga is having fellow TC alum Mike Isabella over to his place to cook dinner, and you’re all invited. Their collaborative meal is scheduled for Tuesday, September 18th at Sbraga (440 S. Broad St.), and we’re guessing you might want to get your reservations in sooner rather than later. The 4-course meal is being offered for $85 (opting to add pairings will tack on $35), and the prix fixe will be the only menu available that evening.

Not surprisingly, Mike I.’s bringing a much heavier Italian influence with him than fans of Sbraga are used to. Given Sbraga’s global reach, we might have been interested to see a few notes drawn from Isabella’s newish (and yes, unevenly reviewed) Mexican venture, Bandolero, or even his upcoming Greek spot. That said, the menu is pretty enticing as it stands.
