Dave Magrogan, who rolled out his first Kildare's four years ago, is retooling the concept under his new corporate chef, Brian Duffy, who recently left The Shanachie in Ambler. New menu is best described as "Euro gastro-pub." Or "New Celtic." Either way, they're also serving that french fry-like French Canadian treat called poutine.
They've started with the location on Head House Square in Philly, and will put it on in Manayunk by the end of the year. All told, Kildare's has six locations.
