You take roasted turkey, coat it with mashed potatoes and stuffing, batter it, fry it, and serve it with cranberry sauce and gravy.
This Thanksgiving-dinner bite will be part of the menu at The Blind Pig, a pub being built at 702 N. Second St. in Northern Liberties, the spot that previously housed Pigalle, Sovalo, and Kong.
Partners Debra Ciasullo and chef David Hentz (they're husband and wife) and John Byrne aiming for as mid-May opening, met while working at Keliann's, the tap at 16th and Spring Garden Streets. They're aiming for a friendly, comfortable, welcoming vibe, says Ciasullo, who's also worked on the fine-dining side at Ristorante Panorama.
Besides the Thanksgiving bites, Hentz's menu will be intentionally small, so he can focus on quality. "There's nothing wrong with a good roast beef sandwich or burger," says Hentz, a well-traveled veteran of London Grill, Tavern on Green, and Ludwig's Garten.
They're crafting a local beer selection, and will tie in a children's menu. At opening, it will be open from dinnertime into the evening, as well as weekends for brunch.
