Matt Levinson has opened The QUICK FIXX (1511 South St., 267-273-1066), the "chef-inspired takeout" joint we first mentioned a year ago. The Colorado native, who was on the opening management team of AC's Borgata (his wife's job brought him to the Philly area), wanted to establish an affordable, accessible fresh-food concept "in between where people are working and where people are living." His South Street location accomplishes that, while chef Charles Reinhardt's menu plays within recognizable categories — salads, flatbreads, pastas, sides, daily sandwich and dinner specials. They also highly encourage customization; "if you can think it, we can build it," Levinson promises. Italian-born Reinhardt, like Levinson, is a luxury hotel veteran; he cooked for the Swiss-based Kempinski hotel group in exotic locales like Dubai and Djibouti before landing in Philly to work at Center City's Sofitel. Pictured above are his Parma salad, with mixed greens, prosciutto-wrapped cataloupe, red peppers and Terra chips in a pink grapefruit vinaigrette; the "Retro Pesto" flatbread, with pesto, grilled marinated chicken, fontina cheese and red pepper crema; and the signature "Fixx" flatbread, with white sauce, bacon, caramelized onions and gruyere.
The restaurant is easing into its regular schedule for right now — they'll open takeout, eat-in and delivery till 1 a.m. tonight and tomorrow before closing up shop on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. Come Jan. 2, they'll run 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. (or later) Friday and Saturday.
