We had word of Paesano's expansion from Girard Avenue (above) to 901 Christian back in September. Nathan Baynes, who co-owns with Modo Mio's Peter McAndrews, tells Meal Ticket that the new location should debut sometime next month, city paperwork pending. The partners are testing a few new eats for the South Philly location, including a tripe sandwich and a namesake burger that'll feature pancetta, gorgonzola cheese, balsamic drizzle and French fries all under the bun, but Baynes points out that "these are predictions at this time, as we are not entirely sure how elaborate we can get." Dear Sandwich Gods: Please allow that burger to happen.

Sub the pancetta for bacon and that burger already exists, it's the Paesano burger at Rembrants, Peter McAndrews' old haunt.  And it's FABULOUS.

Very Pittsburgh-Primanti-Bros-esque, with the fries inside.
