Devil's Den gets a new chef

POSTED: Monday, December 13, 2010, 4:50 PM

Filed Under: Chef Salad | Menu Time

Paul Trowbridge, veteran of Alison at Blue Bell, Moriarty's, Vega Grill and Blue Horse Tavern, has taken over the kitchen at Devil's Den (1148 S. 11th St.) from Alex Urena, who came on about a year ago from R2L and has reportedly moved back to New York due to personal issues. Peep DD's latest menu, launching today, after the jump. Also going down tonight at Devil's Brooklyn's Sixpoint is kicking off the Philadelphia premiere of its "Mad Scientist Series," which features the brewery's peculiar draft-only creations. Tonight from 5 to 7 starting at 7, you can cop drafts of their Spelt Wine, a 9.5 percent ABV barleywine-style beer for which half the barley for the brew was replaced by spelt. UPDATE: Quick clarification: Sixpoint's Spelt Wine will be tapped at 7 p.m. And Devil's will offer their half-price happy-hour draft deal from between 5 and 7, as per usual. Sorry for the confusion.

It's funny, b/c I was so pissed when Alex took the duck fries off of the menu when he came aboard, but now I'm pissed that Paul has taken the crab ravioli off his newish menu.  Whatcha gonna do.  The duck fries are heaven on a plate and I look forward to scarfing them down with some kick ass beer.
