Menu for Scott Schroeder's Starr pop-up

Scott Schroeder (right) of South Philly Tap Room (1509 Mifflin St.), who happens to be one of the heads highlighted in our recent feature about chefs you should follow on Twitter, is the third and final* chef to sign on for Stephen Starr-organized pop-up dinner, joining Aimee Olexy and Konstantinos Pitsillides. Scheduled for Tue., Sept. 28 and Wed., Sept. 29 from 6 to 9 p.m., the pop-up will take place at Starr's Continental Mid-town (1801 Chestnut St.), a venue shift from Washington Square. Schroeder is doing an Oktoberfest-themed menu (in full after the jump); the $45 tix are all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink (beer). The Mid-town will start taking reservations today at 4 p.m.; call 215-567-1800. * Nope, no Angelo Sosa, as previously announced. Sorry Top Chef fans.

Wow, barryg! Do you hate simply to hate? You frequently comment in a negative know-it-all style and this time I have to speak up.  Scott is a talented guy and I find nothing disappointing about this menu, upscale setting or not.  I only hope this comment means you will not be attending this pop-up because your kind of hate is contagious, and I do not want it ruining my good time.

Wow this is kind of disappointing.  Scott kicks ass at SPTR and I would love to see what he could do in a more upscale restaurant environment.  I'm sure this will be delicious, but I was hoping to see some more ambition come from this partnership.

is there any reason why this is the last pop up dinner?

are you serious

The point of this is to do something different in an environment you wouldn't normally see it in. This sounds like a version of the awesome SPTR farmhouse party from last year, but in a Center City restaurant on a big scale. If you knew anything you would know that Scott comes from a fine dining background but cooks what he wants to which is why SPTR's food is great. But I guess it's more fun to bitch about topics you don't know shit about on the Internet than actually pay attention. Ambition? Who do you think you are?

It is fun to bitch, but my point is not to criticize Scott at all--I love his food and frequent SPTR regularly for his specials.  I was hoping to try some of his food outside of the bar food mold and I am let down to see a sausage fest buffet, especially because I don't care that much for German food.  That's my own preference, Scott can do what he wants.

Thanks for supporting Scott so militantly, I am glad he has such passionate fans because I am also one.
