Alex Capasso starts serving West Side Gravy
Filed Under: Openings
Collingswood chef Alex Capasso, who's won plenty of praise for his Blackbird Dining Establishment (check out Trey Popp's '07 review), just opened West Side Gravy at 714 Haddon Avenue (856-858-7153).
While the dining experience at Blackbird is marked with the uncommon touches that've earned Capasso looks from the James Beard folks and elsewhere, the 95-seat BYO serves straightforward, "classic American food." The restaurant, which right now opens for lunch at 11 a.m. daily (dinner coming in a few weeks) offers between six and eight small plates, a few salads, six to eight sandwiches and around six large plates — but "just because this is a casual concept with an inexpensive price point doesn't mean it's an excuse to sub-par products," stresses Capasso. He's still tweaking his menu, but expect eats like a BLT with crispy pancetta, smoked bacon, butter lettuce, marinated tomatoes and tarragon mayo; fried chicken and potato salad; meatloaf sandwiches; and an angus/balsamic roast pork/seared ahi tuna slider trio. The most expensive item on the menu is $18.
I had those sliders for lunch today!
