Gold Standard Caf� soft-opens today
 |
The Gold Standard Caf� (4800 Baltimore Ave., 215-727-8247) quietly opened its doors earlier today.
The restaurant, which is owned by Vincent Whittacre and Roger Harman (formerly of Abbraccio, which they sold in late '08), is actually two concepts in one � one side is a caf� with coffee, breakfast and lunch, while the other is a dining room where patrons can tuck into chef Joey Balaaldia's comfort food menu from Wednesday to Sunday. The name is an homage to the original Gold Standard restaurant Harman and late partner Duane Ball ran at 47th and Chester.
We posted some menu highlights on Meal Ticket back in March, and Harman says the sneak peek is still an accurate representation of what they'll be serving. (The dinner menu will change weekly.)
Current hours of operation: Mon.-Tue., 7 a.m.-7 p.m.; Wed.-Fri., 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
My little brother just got a job over there. I may have to go check it out now. Haven't been down to UCity for food in a long while.
