Square Peg coming soon to 10th and Walnut
Matt Levin, whom we haven't heard much from since his departure from Adsum (now Tapestry), has surfaced as the chef of the new project from Barry Gutin and Larry Cohen. It's called Square Peg, a name only a mother (or the guys who brought us Cuba Libre) could love, and it's coming this March to the 900 block of Walnut Street. (We first mentioned the deal in December.)
Conceptualized by Owen Kamihira (the designer who has Bar Ferdinand and El Camino Real to call his own), loftlike Square Peg will feature exposed brick walls, midcentury art and steel beams, a warm, modern stage for Levin's signature brand of upscale downscale cooking: mac 'n' cheese grilled cheese, French toast "sticks" Bananas Foster, etc. Fans who miss Levin's poutine from Adsum will be happy to hear it's back, reconfigured as a breakfast look with fried eggs, sausage gravy and bacon. To drink: American craft beer, house cocktails — count us in for a Gin Fizz on Walnut (Bluecoat, Aperol, Cava, egg white, lemon) — and milkshakes laced with devil's food cake-flavored vodka and other alcoholic treacles. Welcome back, Levin.
