Chef Scott Schroeder of South Philly Tap Room (15th and Mifflin) just checked in with some early details on American Sardine Bar, the concept he and SPTR owner John Longacre are hoping to open before the end of 2010 in what was Point Breeze's Wander Inn (18th and Federal). On the menu: "sandwiches like a motherfucker," says Schroeder. That translates to up to 10 regularly rotating between-bread choices, plus two soups and a handful of side dishes, all relying on locally sourced ingredients. To drink, somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 to 16 drafts, mostly local but not exclusively. The Tap Room folks are working with architectural salvage firm Provenance (Percy Street Barbecue, Oyster House, etc.) to redesign the interior, which will carry a "classic bar" feel.
In other news, Schroeder will be teaming up with Stephen Starr for an Oktoberfest-themed pop-up dinner, tentatively scheduled for late September, at the Continental Mid-town at 18th and Chestnut. More details on that soon.
