Pure Fare in pictures
Here's a little photo tease of Pure Fare (119 S. 21st St.), the health-conscious café opening this coming Monday in the former 21st Street Gourmet. (We first reported on it in December.) Brother/sister owners Kunal and Kriti Sehgal have lightened up/modernized the space considerably. One side of the restaurant, which features a communal table as well as rail seating along the windows, will be dedicated to brewing Blue Bottle coffee via pourover bar and espresso machine. (They're the first Philly venue to brew Blue Bottle on-site; CP food critic Adam Erace's store, Green Aisle Grocery, carries whole beans from the San Fran-based roaster.) On the opposite end is a counter, leading into chef Sarah Ginn's kitchen, where customers can order from Pure Fare's under-$10 selection of breakfast, lunch and snack items, all carefully broken down in terms of caloric count as well as fat, protein, carb, sodium and fiber content.
The "My Fare" database platform, which we touched on in December, is Pure Fare's free, opt-in system that will cull and analyze the nutritional value of what you eat, both at Pure Fare and outside the café. The service is designed to provide personalized dietary recommendations based on this info — all you need to do is activate a card (above, first pic) and have it scanned each time you make a Pure Fare purchase.
Congrats! Good luck KKK & all overly helping and equally enthusiastic friends who made it happen on 4/18/11. Great tasting, natural ingredients with realistic calorie count to label it " GuiltlessPure fare food haven........bound to be a great success.
