Le Cochon Noir to expand indoors in the fall
 |
Le Cochon Noir, the West Philly barbecue/live jazz venue out by the Mann (5070 Parkside Ave.), has been serving up outdoor barbecue since opening July 4 weekend. But owner Jamal M. Parker tells Meal Ticket that there are big plans up for the business come fall. Soon they'll start moving the operation from outside (they have smokers and an auxiliary kitchen set up) to a 7,000-square-foot space inside the Philadelphia Business and Technology Center, which sits at the same address.
Features will include a glass-enclosed kitchen � "I liken it to a 'show kitchen,'" says Parker � an indoor smoker, a chef's table (also enclosed in glass), a raw bar and a steam kettle bar for �touff�e and jambalaya. They're acquiring a liquor license to build up a wine portfolio to complement chef Daniel Rosen's grub. (As of right now, his specialties include St. Louis-style pork spare ribs, marinated barbecue chicken and sides like corn relish and mac and cheese.) Of course, there'll be an indoor stage for live jazz and blues, with long-term plans to add a deck to host steel drum and reggae performances in the summer of 2010.
Oct. 15 is the target date for the grand reopening, and Parker hopes most of all of these elements will be in place by then. Currently, Le Cochon Noir's outdoor space is open Fridays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 5 to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 3 to 8 p.m.
I initially mistook noir for nuit and assumed that this was an extension of Cochon. How have these people not been sued yet?
