Pig out at new<br />
gastropub<br />
By ELIZA ROTHSTEIN<br />
34th Street Magazine<br />
What do you get when you<br />
cross a rabbit and a pig? A pabbit<br />
— the odd, long-eared mascot for<br />
Pub and Kitchen, a new gastropub<br />
and ultra-cool hangout spot<br />
Dig into over 40 tasty choices.<br />
on 20th and Lombard streets.<br />
This is the latest venture by Jon-<br />
What you need. What you want.<br />
athan McDonald, the chef behind<br />
Snackbar, who has once again filled<br />
On the Penn Campus.<br />
a much-needed niche in the Philadelphia<br />
dining scene. McDonald<br />
took his cues from The Spotted Pig,<br />
another porcine-inspired gastropub<br />
in New York’s West Village.<br />
Whether you come for a<br />
draught beer or cocktail and a few<br />
bar snacks or a full meal <strong>of</strong> classic<br />
pub favorites with a gourmet<br />
twist, P&K welcomes you with<br />
an elongated, warmly-lit bar area<br />
contrasting dark wood and white-<br />

$$<br />
British-inspired gastropub<br />
serves a juicy Windsor burger<br />
staples like chicken wings and fish<br />
& chips, but also extends beyond<br />
the usual Philly bar domain to include<br />
oysters on the half shell ($12),<br />
bangers & mash with mustard<br />
green beans ($16) and mussels in<br />
a broth <strong>of</strong> curry and leeks ($10).<br />
The ultimate item on the<br />
menu is the juicy Windsor burger,<br />
cooked medium-rare, topped<br />
with English cheddar and crisp<br />
pork belly strips ($12). Share the<br />
burger and the accompanying<br />
spiced fries with a friend, and explore<br />
the menu's smaller dishes.<br />
The massive fried onion rings<br />
are a must-try, and the crispy<br />
roasted brussel sprouts are so delicious<br />
you’ll wonder why you’ve<br />
avoided them all these years.<br />
Pub and Kitchen transports its<br />
patrons across the Atlantic, elevating<br />
British pub food to heights<br />
never before reached in Philadelphia.<br />
So take a step inside, and be<br />
ready to fall down the pabbit hole<br />
- there’s no turning back.<br />
