Consulting chef Pete Miller has reformed the menu at East P'unk favorite the P.O.P.E., and so far, things are looking promising. Along with a new brunch selection, which we told you about in March, the casual tavern now has an expansive, all-day menu of classics like roast pork with pickled red onion, sharp provolone and horseradish mayo, platters of down-home meatloaf and specials of chicken-fried steak.

Vegetarians and vegans are accommodated with a stellar vegetarian napoleon, in which saut�ed spinach, roasted red peppers, grilled red onions and eggplant are perched atop a generous serving of crispy polenta in tomato sauce. Mac with dairy or vegan cheese, a veggie burger, a seitan cheesesteak and a variety of salads round out the herbivore side.
Miller also worked a few crafty beers into the food offerings, like the tart raspberry lambic viniaigrette that dresses his spinach salad with grilled red onions, crumbled bacon and hard-cooked eggs.
Prices are super-reasonable, topping out around $11 for a special of grilled Cornish game hen. Chalkboard specials will change regularly, like the sixteen rotating taps.
Pub on Passyunk East, 1501 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-755-5125
