Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant owners Shawn Gormley and Nicolas Moore put the word out this morning that opening chef Jordan “Red” Sauter has moved on. His replacement is Ben McNamara, a culinary vet who’s helmed kitchens at the long gone Dickens Inn, New Wave Cafe, Dark Horse Pub and most recently St. Stephen’s Green. McNamara’s new menu retains his predecessor’s fried mac and cheese and ’50s style diner burger, and adds things like roaster wings; a five cheese grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with braised short ribs, Canadian bacon or grilled chicken; and risotto crab arancini.
