Daniel Stern back in a big way with MidAtlantic and R2L
Daniel Stern back in a big way with MidAtlantic and R2L
 |
While Philly-based star chefs like Jose Garces and Marc Vetri have bandied about the local culinary landscape in the past year opening/planning to open all sorts of awesome spots for us, Daniel Stern has maintained a relatively low profile. This might have something to do with the fact that the former Le Bec-Fin exec chef, who opened Gayle to smashing success four years ago, hit a snag with Rae in the Cira Centre and ended up closing the place in early '09. Also possible: He's been too busy sketching out the two projects detailed below to show his face. Details are still scarce on both restaurants, but here's what Meal Ticket knows.
The first, MidAtlantic, planned for the Science Center at 3711 Market, is being referred to as a "modern taproom" that'll celebrate the culinary styles of the geographical region that gives the restaurant its name. This means it'll highlight Pennsylvania Dutch cooking (eager to see what kind of spin Stern might put on something like ... shoofly pie), and our guess is it'll offer plenty of local beers. Stern's peeps are saying "early fall" for this opening.
The second project � originally billed as Rae in a new location, but now called R2L � is up for a "late fall" debut, 500 feet above street level atop Two Liberty Place at 16th and Chestnut. (Shot of a in-the-thick-of-construction Stern above.) This spot's menu has been characterized as "a modern tribute to classic cocktail cuisine, with elevated twists on American food," and will feature 360-degree views of the city.
Meal Ticket will have more with Stern soon.

[...] In our recent Q&A with Daniel Stern, we asked the Philly chef — poised to open R2L and MidAtlantic this fall — how often we might find him at Gayle, the five-year-old space he calls his baby. “Every day,” he told Meal Ticket. “I’ve been working on all of our development out of Gayle and the back patio is also my favorite hideaway in the city.” [...]
