PBR Makes Mark in Old City

Brian Freedman praises the menu at Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant, finding the bar/restaurant to be a welcome grown-up addition to Old City.

[Chef Jordan] Sauter, formerly of Modo Mio, has skills that go well beyond the fryer, as a seasonal sweet-potato-and-fennel soup demonstrated. Dizzyingly creamy in texture, the spoon-coating bowl of vivid soup embodied autumn in the northeast with richness and detail. Under the roasty-sweet depth of the potato, flashes of fennel and the perfume of cinnamon sparked each spoonful to life. If a great sweet-potato-pie filling turned to the more savory side, this is what it would taste like.
