Rotisseur rolls out new chef, look, and hours
The "fast slow food" joint gets a makeover.
Rotisseur rolls out new chef, look, and hours
Fans of chicken joint Rotisseur (102 S. 21st St.)—and we count ourselves among them, drooling pitifully over their near-daily bread pudding snapshots on Twitter—might question the need for a makeover, but don't fret: the news is more about awesome new additions than a head-to-toe overhaul.
First things first: your favorite bánh mì or quarter dark combo need no longer be just a weekday treat, as they've added Saturday hours. Now, the shop is open from noon to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. And you'll probably note the new logo and interior design off the bat—but there are changes coming to the back of the house, too.
Owner Aaron Matzkin's installed a new fixture in his open kitchen: chef John Kasenchak, Philly native and former Sous at Tinto and Village Whiskey (he's also worked for Chris Scarduzio, and did a stint in San Diego). For now, you can admire his influence on their new fall sides and desserts, like Brussels sprouts larded with Benton's hickory-smoked bacon, glazed carrots with ginger, warm farro salad with currants, and an apple crumble.
Sounds like some more changes are in the works, too—for one, meals are becoming more customizable, as you can now decide if you want one, two, or three sides with your chicken. And keep an eye out for some new additions coming up in short order: notably, the addition of green salads and a couple of new bánh mì options.
