The Dish: Where You'll Be Eating Next
New restaurants from John Mims, Keith Taylor and Legal Seafood
By April White
Carmine’s Creole Kitchen is on the move again (carminescreole.com). Owner John Mims is hoping for a December opening for his new-new location. This time he’s in Bryn Mawr, reinventing Carmine’s as a New Orleans-style blues bar. This incarnation, housed in the former Citron on Lancaster Avenue, will have the same well-loved N’awlins menu (and those BBQ ribs that some remember fondly from the short-lived Mims’ venture Ava), a liquor license (with an everything-under-$29 wine list, Mims says), and a lineup of live blues acts. Look for the Carmine’s house band; that’s Mims on the drums.
Blues comes to Norristown on the 30th with the opening of chef Keith M. Taylor’s Taylor’s at the Olde Mill (taylorsoldemill.com). The rustic 19th-century grist mill will be home to a start-with-the-sweet-tea, end-with-the-pecan-pie menu of everything fried, bbq-ed and smothered. The downstairs “Blue Room” bar has a schedule of live blues and jazz.
Legal Seafood is swimming into town (legalseafood.com). The Boston-based seafood chain has signed a lease at the Court at King of Prussia. Look for the state’s first taste of the restaurant’s famous calm chowder in mid-March.
