Susanna Foo, too, to the Comcast Center

Food & Drinq has obtained the tenant list at the gourmet food market that will be in the concourse of the Comcast Center (17th Street between JFK and Arch). Stores will begin opening June 2.

The market's location is killer, on the approach to the SEPTA platform at Suburban Station. Merchants envision Comcast workers stopping on their way out the door. For the lunchtime crowd that might want to skip Ralph's, there will be seating, too.

It's been no secret that Di Brono Bros. and Termini Bros. are going in.

And so is Susanna Foo, whose place will be called Sanxi. She was approached recently to get the last space, and now that life has calmed down at both her Center City restaurant and Susanna Foo Gourmet Kitchen in Radnor, she says she feels she can do it.

Not that the size of the 150-square-foot stand is any big deal. She says she'll open Sanxi -- after the province in China where her father is from (pronounced "SAN-shee") -- in November because she has to work on recipes that are conducive to takeout, such as dumplings, salads and a few entrees.

The rest of the lineup:

Jake & Max's Deli
Bucks County Coffee Co.
Tokyo Sushi & Catering
LaScala's (the restaurant at Seventh and Chestnut, doing quick-serve pizza and pasta)
Frank's Old-Philly Style Sandwiches (run by LaScala's)
Under the C (a seafood stand from the operators of Ardmore Seafood at the Ardmore Farmers Market)
Sook Hee's Produce (also from Ardmore Seafood)
Mexican Post (an offshoot of the local mini-chain).

Table 31, the Georges Perrier/Chris Scarduzio steakhouse on the street level, is due to open for beverage service May 18. Lunch and dinner are to start June 3.

Hi, I was glad to find our business on this blog. Sook Hee's Produce is going into the Comcast Gourmet food market, but we are not from Ardmore Seafood. Our first location is in the Ardmore Farmer's Market and we are excited to open the next one in mid-June!
