New chef and new menu at South Philly Tap Room
We here at Meal Ticket are sad to report that South Philly Tap Room chef Scott Schroeder (pictured above) has decided to abandon his post at the beer bar, as well as professional cooking altogether. Sources close to the chef tell us that his many recent brushes with notoreity — including his selection as one of the contestants of this Sunday's ?uestlove Cook-Off — have contributed to the Detroit native having a mild nervous breakdown.
When reached for comment, SPTR John Longacre expressed his disappointment with Schroeder's decision — and a shockingly small amount of concern for his well-being. "The boy went as crazy as a shithouse rat," Longacre told Meal Ticket, angrily. "But frankly, I'm tired of fucking tacos." Indeed, Longacre and the SPTR kitchen are already moving on — in a surprise move, Joe Beddia, who many know as the bespectacled daytime pizza guy at Zavino, has agreed to take the reins at the Tap Room. Beddia, known for wood-firing everything he can get his talented hands on (this includes wood, and fire), has sent Meal Ticket a draft of SPTR's new menu, which launches tonight. It's certainly a new direction for the Newbold mainstay. Check it out after the jump.
