Garces Trading Company
Iron Chef's all-in-one marketplace
1111 Locust St; 215.574.1099
While hiring your favorite chef to prep your daily meals is
great in theory, financial realities make it more feasible
to just employ some of his/her favorite ingredients, but
when's the last time you saw a "Colonel's Secret Herbs &
Spices" aisle in Pathmark? For Iron Chef'd meals &
ingredients, hit Garces Trading Company.
Opening today, GTC's Iron Chef Jose Garces' first foray into
culinary curation: an indoor cafe/marketplace modeled after
outdoor European affairs stocked with goods/ingredients
featured on his menus, from hand-selected coffee roasts and
pastries to imported cheeses and prepared foods, with
full-service high-top butcher's block tables plus the option
to uncork 200+ bottles of vino (purchased from the PLCB's
first wine boutique), most of which're unavailable in
regular Wine & Spirit Shoppes, which you normally leave
Arbor Misty-eyed. The extensive prepared food menu includes
everything from pasta dishes like linguini w/ clams, crab &
bacon; to customizable deep dish pizzas plus thin-crust
specialties like the bacon/onion/creme fraiche Tarte
Flambee; to sandwiches like the chicken, bacon & Manchego
Spaniard, which will say in a stern whisper, "You grilled my
father. Prepare to fry". Market-wise, GTC's stocking 14
varieties of single-estate olive oils and vinegars, an
impressive array of domestic and imported cheeses (semi-soft
Spanish Monte Cabra goat, firm Italian Piave Vecchio), and a
slew of charcuterie options including Jamon Iberico (made
from acorn-fed black pig) and fennel-/peppercorn-laced
Italian salami called Finocchiona, which disappointingly
will grow shorter and shorter the more it lies around.
Along with a rotating selection of weekly platters, GTC's
also offering Plats du Jour options of meals for two,
including Coq au Vin on Mondays, duck cassoulet on Tuesdays,
and Cote De Bouef, a 28oz prime rib offered every Saturday,
relegating Crispy Strips to a not-Saturdaily meal.

for you
