Chef Alex Ureña, the hot, Dominican-born New York import who left the employ of R2L in Liberty Place on the eve of its opening, has settled comfortably into Devil's Den at 11th and Ellsworth in South Philly.
His new menu, crafted over the last several months, will be unleashed Friday.
It's tightly focused and hits the main points: mini-burgers, flat-iron steak, flatbreads, seitan meatballs, cheese and charcuterie plates..
Intriguing by gastropub standards is the chef's tasting menu, three courses for $25 ($30 if paired with beers) and $35 for four courses ($42 with beer pairings).
