Thrillist Philadelphia
Monday August 31, 2009
Fond
1617 E Passyunk Ave, between 11th & 12th and Tasker &
Morris; South Philly; 215.551.5000
In the restaurant game, co-workers always cook up plans to
flee their employers and "open our own place", but usually
get distracted from that goal while having sex with each
other in the walk-in. Making a backroom-hatched scheme a
reality, the trio behind Fond, opening tonight.
A collaborative project from three restaurant industry vets
who worked alongside each other at Le Bec Fin and Lacroix
while dreaming of running their own joint, Fond's a dark
green- & beige-schemed 35-seat BYO hung with cherry
wood-framed sepia-toned photos, snugly nestled in a
storefront along the suddenly booming East Passyunk
corridor, with catch-all "American Contemporary" offerings
changing from season to season, like an edible Sixers coach.
In addition to daily specials, staple apps on the opening
menu include steak tartare w/ caramelized onion, quail egg,
& Gruyère; grilled asparagus w/ arugula, "5-minute egg" &
sherry-roasted shallots; and crispy veal sweetbreads w/
heirloom tomato & pickled red onion, which has obviously
been out partying with the shallots. Entrées run from fish
like pan-seared halibut w/ sweet pea ravioli & lemon brown
butter, to meatier options like grilled flank steak in
Bordelaise; pork chop w/truffled maiitake & Jersey corn; and
chicken breast in roasted garlic sherry jus w/ fingerlings &
piperade, which is what his bandmates douse Ian Anderson in
after a particularly sick show.
Harnessing her extensive pastry chef experience, one of the
owners crafts all Fond's desserts in-house, including Irish
coffee soufflé glace w/ whiskey caramel & butterscotch
shortbread and dark chocolate tart w/ passion fruit custard,
also exactly what any good entrepreneur-to-be leaves on the
walk-in wall.
Open for dinner 5:30-10pm Mon-Sat -- click here to view the
