Just touched base with chef Bill Beck for some details on Beck's Cajun Caf�, his New Orleans-inspired stall that should be open in the next two weeks right near DiNic's in Reading Terminal Market. Beck, who formerly ran Pompano Grill, has long loved NOLA cuisine, so he's keeping it real here, sourcing most all his meats � andouille, smoked Cajun sausage, tasso ham, alligator sausage � directly from Louisiana. Traditional and chicory coffees, too. Beck's will also offer fresh-to-order beignets, muffalettas by the whole or half and several varieties of gumbo (crab, corn and okra; chicken and andouille). Tons of po'boy sandwiches, including Philly-centric renditions like chicken salad with fried oysters and an andouille, steak, salami, cheese and onion straws the chef is thinking of calling "The Trainwreck" in a nod to his RTM location. Breakfast service will see selections like the traditional Eggs Royal, grilled cornbread toped with poached eggs, eggplant, tasso and a Tabasco hollandaise.
Beck's just waiting on a few city inspections, and hopes that he'll be ready to go by Tuesday, Oct. 20. If there are delays, though, he says he shouldn't be open any later than Monday, Oct. 26.
Yes-n-deed, I am from Texas, I've been depressed since I've couldn't find any good boudain or crawfish in the city..
Beignets & muffalettas -I am so excited! Thank you RTM for adding cajun to the mix - we've been waiting so long.
This sounds like heaven. I am way too excited for this.
