The Grainery is now The Farmers' Cabinet
More details are emerging on the Center City expansion from the owners of Fork & Barrel (4213 Ridge Ave.), which Meal Ticket first told you about in February. First off, a name change: The project (1113 Walnut St.), originally called The Grainery, is now going by The Farmers' Cabinet. Brewer Terry Hawbaker and cocktail expert Damon Dyer are still on board to bolster the beer and spirits programs — Hawbaker, formerly of Williamsport's Bullfrog Brewery, is building a two-barrel fermenting system to produce small batches of in-house ales to complement co-owner Matt Scheller's curated Euro beer list; Dyer, an NYC-based bartender/consultant, will be mixing up tipples like the "Pirate's Coffee" (Irish whiskey, spiced rum served hot with brown sugar, coffee and whipped cream) and a rendition of the Martinez, the martini precursor, aged for 30 days in bourbon barrels.
Chef Peter Felton of Fork & Barrel is designing the menu at The Farmers' Cabinet, which should be debuting before the end of March. Opening menu items should include:
- Bone marrow and roasted cippolini soup wiht butter-fried croutons
- Bourbon-braised escargot with tasso ham and caramelized shallots
- Peekytoe Crab Roll sandwich with heirloom tomatoes and lettuce
- Spring pea barotto with sweet corn and wild mushroom preserva
- Shared dishes for two or more: salt-baked fish, elk chops, roasted goat leg, etc.
