More on Union Trust's takeover of Roy's
Ed Doherty, partner in Union Trust Steakhouse (717 Chestnut St.), checks in with some prelim details on his team's takeover of what was, until recently, a Roy's Hawaiian Fusion location at 15th and Sansom. Doherty says he's in the process of interviewing designers and organized the demo process for Union Tavern, a casual concept that will boast an "urban country" design feel. The Tavern will serve "inspired American comfort food," and Doherty stresses that it will be "priced for the new economy." Tony Aiazzi, who for some time worked for Charlie Palmer's group of restaurants (including several years as exec chef at Palmer's flagship NYC restaurant Aureole, preceding ex-Striped Bass/Gilt dude Christopher Lee) has signed on to be the chef - his cooking will focus on wood-burning ovens and rotisserie meats, and they'll also place a big focus on the raw bar and burgers. They want to open in the spring of 2011. Foobooz » Quick Bites Posted 2010-08-31 15:02:21

Soon after the Oak opens, he will become the culinary director of both GrassoÂ’s restaurants. “I’m about to give it an umbrella title,” says Grasso of the organization running both spaces. “But each restaurant will stand on its own. The only thing thatÂ’ll unite them is good food.” Joe Grasso talks American Oak [...]
