More on East Passyunk's Stateside
It's up for fall, and the chef has been named.
Steve Slaughter of Green Eggs Cafe is working the phone today to share more details on Stateside (1536 E. Passyunk Ave.), the American whiskey bar and restaurant that's been in the oven since March.
Slaughter will not nail down an opening date, unlike so many others in the biz, but it's safe to say "fall."
He and partner William Bonforte have hired George Sabatino, who was opening chef at Barbuzzo, to oversee a contemporary American menu that will be strictly sourced domestically. Mostly small plates, cured meats (all house-made), and cheeses (mostly house made).
The bar will be strictly domestic as well, with 10 craft beers on draft.
Slaughter says they'll use the South Philly Green Eggs on Dickinson Street do a pop-up sampling of Stateside's menu two weeks before it opens.
