Based in the former home of Bisou (4161 Main St.), Beast & Ale offers griddled burgers, hot roast beef and other retro-inspired “greasy spoon” fare. All menu items are under $17.
>> BROAD STREET RUN: Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga will have a second Broad Street restaurant come fall, based in the ground floor of Southstar Lofts. Expect a rotisserie-focused menu and a raw bar.
>> CAMERAS ROLLING: The Rosenthal- brothers—Reid (The Bachelorette) and Chad (Food Network Star, owner of The Lucky Well)—are busy filming a reality series about first-time restaurateurs. No host network yet. More on this soon.
