What's Cooking On 1060: Real Local Sourcing, Cake Pops, And A Charity Dinner
By Hadas Kuznits
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A hybrid restaurant/butcher shop, Kensington Quarters, is now open at 1310 Frankford Avenue.
"We decided that it would be really awesome to put a whole-animal, sustainable butcher shop, sourced locally, inside the place," says owner Michael Pasquarello (top photo). "And having those proteins mixed in with locally sourced produces, on a revolving, changing menu, seemed to be the way it was always done before."
