Django

The Overview: Greg Salisbury and Ross Essner of West Philly’s Rx acquired Django late last year from Bryan Sikora and Aimee Olexy, creators of the cult-favorite BYOB. In addition to the name Salisbury and Essner have retained the homespun tea-towel tablecloths, the signature flowerpot bread, the crowd-pleasing cheese plate, and much of the staff, and Django continues to be a satisfying destination for seasonally inspired dishes fashioned from local ingredients. Though small plates are in fashion in this neighborhood, Django’s options are hearty. Accompaniments can be as elegant as the duck confit-filled “cigar” that garnishes a tidy stack of duck breast slices, or as earthy as the fist-size rice fritter that almost dwarfs a pair of buttery lamb T-bones. And Django’s ever-popular cheese plate rounds up nearly a dozen morsels of varieties from goats, sheep and cows, from at least four countries.
