Food and Drinq

David Katz weighs in with details of his new restaurant, which will occupy the corner of 22nd and Spruce Streets.

He's calling it Mémé -- say it like "may-may."

"That is what we call grandmother in the Moroccan-Jewish culture. Still kind of ironing out concept, but I know it will be a casual neighborhood driven restaurant."

Beer and wine. September opening. Here's the spaceholder Web site.

Current occupant of the space is Melograno, which will relocate to 2010 Sansom Street. Its lease is up at the end of July.

Katz won raves as chef at the now-closed Restaurant M. He spent a short time at Silk City. His plan to open a restaurant at 24th and Locust Streets was scuttled after neighborhood opposition.
