Marigold Kitchen's new menu goes live

Robert Halpern, who's taking over Marigold Kitchen starting Sept. 1 (check out our July 16 chat with the chef), has posted the menu for his redux of the West Philly BYOB (501 S. 45th St.). Check it out here or after the jump. Halpern, who's trained at forward-food-thinking proving grounds like Chicago's Alinea and Maine's Hugo's, characterizes his cooking style as "postmodern," which translates, in basic terms, to the chef using techniques and ingredients uncommonly. (See the seared avocado dish served in the style of foie gras.) No prices just yet, but there are options for a $55 tasting and a $95 "chef's tasting." More food pics here.
